In North India is seasonal in character as sugarcane is available only at the time of harvest and the crushing season is short. So, there is increase in cost of production.<br \/>\nThe sugar industry is better organised in the peninsular region as the mills are better managed in the cooperative sector, factories are nearer the centre of large consumption. This lowers the transport cost and overall prices. In North India, there are great distances between the factories and the fields which causes increase in the cost of production.<br \/>\nThe outmoded and worn-out machinery of North Indian mills lead to lo;w milling efficiency and wastages. The mills in peninsular India are new, efficient and very large.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 6:<\/strong> Mention some problems of sugarcane industry.<br \/>\n<strong>Answer:<\/strong> Some problems of sugarcane industry are:<br \/>\n(i) Shorter crushing season.<br \/>\n(ii) The areas producing sugarcane are generally far away from the factories.<br \/>\n(iii) The sugarcane crop is of poor quality.<br \/>\n(iv) The yield of crop is low due to outdated machinery.<br \/>\n(v) Full use of the by-product is not made. Production of rum and alcohol is meagre.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 7:<\/strong> Name the factors which have made Mumbai the most important cotton-manufacturer of India.<br \/>\nOr<br \/>\nGive two reasons why the cotton textile industry has developed around Mumbai.<br \/>\nOr<br \/>\nWhy has Mumbai a large number of cotton textile units.<br \/>\n<strong>Answer:<\/strong> Factors which have made Mumbai the most important cotton manufacturer of India are:<br \/>\n(i) Availability of raw cotton,<br \/>\n(ii) Transport facilities,<br \/>\n(iii) Humid climate,<br \/>\n(iv) Cheap hydel power,<br \/>\n(v) Facility of abundant labour,<br \/>\n(vi) Demand of manufactured goods,<br \/>\n(vii) Port facility, and<br \/>\n(viii) Facilities of capital.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 8:<\/strong> What are the problems of the Flandloom industry?<br \/>\n<strong>Answer:<\/strong> The handloom industry faces several problems which retard its growth.

Karnataka is the largest producer of raw silk.<br \/>\n(iv) As silk industry is an agricultural industry and therefore, provides employment to people in rural areas.<br \/>\n(v) It provides ample work for the women folk in rearing while the male members work in the fields.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 10:<\/strong> Explain briefly Silviculture. What is its purpose?<br \/>\n<strong>Answer:<\/strong> Silviculture means timber farming, i.e., growing trees for timber. It can be defined as the science of cultivating trees. The ground is first cleared of all vegetation, well-drained and then seedlings of species are grown in the nurseries before planting. A part of the land is planted with the same species at the same time, so that all the trees mature together and make clear-cutting possible. Foresters make use of the science of genetics to have improved growth rates and resistant to diseases and pests.<br \/>\nThus, the goal of getting a correct balance between the annual harvest and the growth of wood is achieved and we get a sustained yield of timber.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 11:<\/strong> Why is the silk industry considered as a small scale industry?<br \/>\n<strong>Answer:<\/strong> Silk industry is considered as a small scale industry because<br \/>\n(i) Rearing of the silk worm is taken up as a cottage industry where a village or few families together are involved in it.<br \/>\n(ii) Silk industry depends on the availability of the raw material, being expensive the demand is not as big as cotton textile so the manufacturing of silk is kept as a small scale industry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 12:<\/strong> What are the problems of the woollen industry?<br \/>\n<strong>Answer:<\/strong> (i) Local wool is of poor quality and India has to import good quality wool. This will bring down the margin of profit.<br \/>\n(ii) Synthetic fibres have affected the industry since they are gradually replacing the woollen industry.<br \/>\n(iii) The woollen industry is scattered and in a decentralized form. So the mill-owners are unable to take advantage of a centralized form of industry.<br \/>\n(iv) India has to import wool from Australia land U.K. which have also started manufacturing woollen cloth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 13:<\/strong> What are the factors that favour the location of jute industry in the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta?<br \/>\n<strong>Answer:<\/strong> (i) Friable, loamy, alluvial soils, preferable rich in salts.<br \/>\n(ii) Bengal which lies in the Ganga-Bhrahmaputra delta has the advantage that it gets flooded and a fresh layer of alluvial soil is deposited every year. Jute is a crop that exhausts the soil and hence it requires manure and fertilizers in large quantities.<br \/>\n(iii) Good rainfall of 175-200 cm and plenty of clean water for retting.<br \/>\n(iv) Cheap labour.<br \/>\n(v) Coal which is available in Raniganj.<br \/>\n(vi) Kolkata port is nearby for export purposes.<br \/>\n(vii) The Ganga-Brahmaputra delta and its distributaries provide good means of transport of the raw jute to the manufacturing centres which are connected to Kolkata by railway and road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 14:<\/strong> What are the problems of jute industry?<br \/>\n<strong>Answer:<\/strong> (i) Problems of raw material: After Independence 70% of the jute producing areas went to Bangladesh.
