Indigo was cultivated in the land of ryots, or small farmers, primarily through a system of sharecropping under colonial rule, particularly in India. Farmers were often coerced or incentivized to grow indigo instead of food crops, leading to economic dependency on the indigo trade. The cultivation process involved planting indigo seeds, nurturing the plants, and then harvesting the leaves for dye extraction. This practice, however, often resulted in poor soil quality and economic hardship for the ryots due to unfair pricing and exploitative contracts.

Eliza Lucas Pinckney successfully cultivated indigo dye by employing innovative agricultural techniques and managing her family's plantations in South Carolina during the 18th century. After experimenting with different crops, she recognized the potential of indigo and dedicated her efforts to its cultivation, overseeing the planting, harvesting, and processing. Pinckney also utilized enslaved labor and local expertise to streamline production, ultimately becoming a leading figure in the indigo industry and contributing to the economic growth of the region. Her persistence and skillful management led to indigo becoming a significant cash crop in the American colonies.
why there was ddemand for indian indigo
From 1897 onwards, synthetic indigo, produced primarily in Germany, emerged as a cheaper alternative to natural indigo. This innovation significantly impacted the indigo industry, particularly in India, where natural indigo had been a major cash crop. The introduction of synthetic alternatives led to a decline in demand for natural indigo, effectively killing the traditional indigo industry.

The two systems of indigo cultivation were the "Zamindari" and "Ryotwari" systems. In the Zamindari system, landlords (zamindars) were responsible for collecting taxes from peasants, who would grow indigo among other crops. In the Ryotwari system, individual farmers (ryots) directly interacted with the government, cultivating indigo on their own land and paying taxes directly. Both systems significantly impacted agricultural practices and the economy in regions like India during the colonial era.
