Answer:
Subsidies
are given to farmers due to wide fluctuation in crop prices, due to which the
farmers often suffer losses. Most of them cannot afford the costly modern
inputs required for high output and so State Governments subsidies these
inputs.
Farmers'
problems can be solved by other means like procurement of crops at the Minimum
Support Price (MSP) on time (there should be no delay in procurement), guidance
to farmers on how best to market their produce, giving help in availing many
other facilities provided by the government (not subsidies), for insuring
themselves and their crops, advising farmers what crops to grow to maximize
their profit and similar other measures. (5)
