We know that agriculture is very important for industries to run but in the same
way, without industries agriculture production cannot be good. Industries produce
many agricultural tools like sickles, axles, ploughs, spades, shovel and tractors,
thrashers, pump sets, generators, etc. These tools are very essential to complete
farming in faster, easier and in a comfortable way. Moreover, these tools help
for the better yielding. The insecticides and pesticides help to control diseases in
crops and chemical fertilizers improve the production. The improved production
encourages farmers to grow productively and sell in the market. It helps to earn
good income and the economy of farmers can be enhanced. Therefore, there is
interrelationship between agriculture and industry.
