Agriculture normally plays an important role in the economy of a country. Apart from the most general function of supplying food and raw materials to the country, agriculture also provides labour opportunities and plays an important role in the development of natural resources and the generation of foreign exchange while offering a market for non-agricultural products and goods. Although agriculture has lost its importance as a primary work creator, it should be remembered that there are many people who directly or indirectly depend on agriculture for their livelihood. These include the vast number of people in the rural and underdeveloped areas who depend on agriculture and agriculture-related industries. Add to this the rising demand for food due to the population explosion, and one understands why so much is done to develop agriculture and its related human resources in underdeveloped areas.
