Agriculture is the most important occupation in India because :
(i) The tropical climate provides long growing season in most parts of the country except the Himalayan region.
(ii) Vast stretches of arable land found in the alluvial lowlands of Northern plains. Coastal and delta plains, provide unique combination of fertile soils and an abundant water supply.
(iii) The large size and the varying climatic conditions in the country enable a variety of crops to be cultivated.
