Write a note on the commercialization of agriculture introduced by the British in the agricultural sector of Kerala. Or Discuss the changes in Kerala due to the commercialization of agriculture by the British.

Answer»
  • The British encouraged market-driven cultivation in the agricultural sector. 
  • Coconut products had great demand in the foreign markets. So large scale cultivation of coconut started instead of paddy. 
  • Paddy production declined. It resulted in food shortage. To overcome this situation, tapioca cultivation extended to large areas. 
  • Coffee, tea, cardamom and rubber began to be cultivated as plantation crops in the high ranges.
