Income Share Limit in Diversified Farming
In diversified farming, no single enterprise will provide how much of total farm income?
- ≥ 50% — Correct Answer
- ≥ 40%
- ≥ 20%
- ≥ 10%
Explanation:
Correct Answer: ≥ 50%
In diversified farming, no single enterprise will provide ≥ 50% (50% or more) of the gross farm income. This ensures that income is spread across multiple enterprises.
Comparison: Specialized vs. Mixed vs. Diversified Farming
- Specialized farming: One enterprise contributes >50% of income. Example: Commercial dairy farming. (Most risky farming system in India.)
- Mixed farming: Crop + Livestock; livestock contributes at least 10% but not more than 49%.
- Diversified farming: Multiple enterprises; NO single one gives ≥ 50%. Example: Crop + Dairy + Poultry + Orchard.
Memory Tip
The 50% threshold is the KEY dividing line:
• >50% from one = Specialized (Risky!)
• No single one ≥50% = Diversified (Safe!)
• Livestock between 10–49% + Crops = Mixed
