Social Science (087) — AI-generated practice question

Agro-industries help in modernising agriculture in two ways:

1. They supply essential inputs to farmers such as irrigation pumps, fertilisers, insecticides, pesticides, and machines, which raise agricultural productivity.
2. They make production processes more efficient, thus helping agriculturists increase their output.

The passage directly states that agro-industries "sell their products such as irrigation pumps, fertilisers, insecticides, pesticides, plastic and PVC pipes, machines and tools, etc. to the farmers" and have "made the production processes very efficient." Pick these two distinct points for full marks. Avoid vague answers — name specific inputs for precision.
