In colonial India, a variety of crops were cultivated, including rice, wheat, jute, cotton, and indigo. The British focused on cash crops like indigo and cotton to supply raw materials for their textile industries, often at the expense of food crops, which led to food shortages. Additionally, the introduction of new agricultural techniques and crops aimed to increase productivity and profitability for colonial interests. The diverse climate and geography of India allowed for a wide range of agricultural practices across different regions.
