Commercialization in agriculture refers to the process of transforming traditional farming practices into market-oriented production systems. This involves growing crops and raising livestock primarily for sale in local, national, or international markets, rather than for subsistence. Key features include the adoption of modern technologies, improved seeds, and efficient irrigation methods to increase productivity. Commercialization encourages farmers to focus on high-demand crops and value-added products, which can enhance their income and economic stability. However, it can also lead to challenges, such as dependency on market fluctuations, increased input costs, and potential neglect of food security for local communities.
