"Agriculture and industry are not exclusive of each other. They move hand in hand." Justify the statement with any three suitable arguments.

Accepted Answer

Agriculture and industry are not exclusive to each other. They move hand in hand because:

They are dependent on each other for development.

The growth of the agro-based industries is an example of their interdependency where agro-based industries depend on agricultural production and agriculture is dependent on the demand for its produce by these industries.

Agriculture supplies raw materials to industries and similarly industries supply their products such as irrigation pumps, fertilisers, insecticides, pesticides, plastic and PVC pipes, machines and tools, etc., to farmers.
