Why did they move to programming? because paid more? They do not like to be on the middle of noisy tractors shouting to technicians and peones Lack of glamour: Dirty boots, drive muddy pick trucks Indian girls does not like pole climbing type of men men in the field but prefer the guys with ties and clean trousers office types? If any of the above, they must start paying a lot of more money for them to change the air conditioned office, get lunch box inside pick truck and head for the middle of the bush. Girls will see those civil engineers with big wallets and balance will be restored.

Many farmers have begun switching over to cash crops like cotton, or horticulture (fruits and vegetable) which find a ready demand from retail chains and food processing industries. This can be seen in the Punjab and in agricultural states like Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and UP as well. Horticulture has become extremely attractive because many food processing companies and retail chains like Wal-Mart are willing to purchase the next crop in advance through some form of contract farming. dnaindia.com The above mean the market is teaching India a lesson. As income rises Indians buy more processed food. The market supply chain is a new one as entities such as Wal-Mart enter it. Someone must dust off the David Ricardo book and start reading it. For India specialization in IT means all the bright kids are studying to become IT professionals rather than agriculture and food engineers. In Brazil they are specializing in agribusiness. Thus India will sell IT services to US, to earn USD to buy food from Brazil. That because "thanks to urbanisation and industrial development (including the reckless creation of SEZs), the land under cultivation has been declining alarmingly."
