“Agriculture and industry move hand in hand.” Analyze the statement with three examples. (CBSE 2013)

Agriculture and industry move hand in hand:

1. Agro-industries get all their raw materials from agriculture.

2. Agriculture receives many materials for farming from industries like fertilizers, pesticides, machines etc.

3. Competition between industries has increased not only production but also the productivity of agriculture.

Note: Both agriculture and industry are inter-dependent on each other. The relationship between these two is like a cycle and hence, move hand in hand.
