Income Threshold for Specialized Farming
In specialized farming, the income from the major enterprise should be __________ of total farm income:
- > 50% — Correct Answer
- > 60%
- > 70%
- > 80%
Explanation:
Correct Answer: > 50%
In specialized farming, the major enterprise must provide more than 50% (≥50%) of the total farm income. This concentration in a single enterprise makes it the most risky farming system in India.
Income Threshold Summary
- Specialized farming: Single enterprise ≥ 50% → Riskiest (all eggs in one basket)
- Mixed farming: Livestock 10–49% of gross income → Most common in India
- Diversified farming: No single enterprise ≥ 50% → Multiple enterprises, lower risk. Example: Crop + Dairy + Poultry + Orchard
Examples of Specialized Farming
- Commercial dairy farming (only dairy)
- Commercial poultry farming (only eggs/broilers)
- Commercial sugarcane farming
