The crops consist of cereal grains, oats, rye, barley and wheat. These were very important to the peasants. Root vegetables were grown and stored over winter. Fruit was grown and eaten fresh, dried, or made into wine or cider. Fresh greens, such as lettuce, or cabbages, peas and fava beans were also grown. Certain spices and seasonings in Europe were grown, the most important of these is mustard.

What methods did the company adopt to expand area under indigo cultivation?

The East India Company adopted coercive methods to expand the area under indigo cultivation. They would prevent peasants from planting food crops and, instead, forced them to grow indigo. They also forced peasants to take loans at high interest rates, thereby pushing the peasants into a debt trap. Once the peasants got so entrapped, they had to continue to grow indigo in order to keep repaying the debt.


Why were the peasants reluctant to grow indigo?

Peasants were reluctant to grow indigo primarily due to the oppressive conditions imposed by colonial landowners and the British East India Company, which often demanded that farmers dedicate a portion of their land to indigo cultivation instead of food crops. This shift not only jeopardized their food security but also subjected them to exploitative pricing and harsh contracts. Additionally, the labor-intensive process of indigo production required significant time and effort, further discouraging farmers from committing to its cultivation. Many peasants preferred to grow subsistence crops that guaranteed their survival over a cash crop that could lead to financial instability.
