Question

Which one of the following is an indirectly associated component of commercial agriculture?

• A. Cold storage
• B. Florist trade
• C. Seed production
• D. Flower perfumery

Hint:

Cold storage is a post-production activity that helps in maintaining the quality of produce but is not directly involved in the growing or harvesting of crops.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In commercial agriculture, various activities are directly or indirectly related to the main agricultural production.
Cold storage is an indirectly associated component because it helps in preserving perishable agricultural products post-harvest but is not directly involved in the production process.
Florist trade is directly associated with commercial agriculture as it involves the selling and distribution of flowers.
Seed production is directly related to agriculture as it concerns the generation of seeds for crop cultivation.
Flower perfumery is directly related to commercial agriculture involving processing of flowers for perfumes. Thus, cold storage supports the supply chain rather than the agricultural production itself.
