Detailed Solution

The above statement is true. The indigo farmers found it difficult to expand the area under nij cultivation.
Nij and ryoti were the two main ways used to cultivate indigo. The planter cultivated indigo under the nij farming system in areas under his control. He either purchased the land outright or leased it from other zamindars, and he used hired labourers directly to manufacture indigo. It was challenging for the planters to increase the area under nij cultivation. Only rich lands—all of which were already heavily populated—could support indigo cultivation. It was only possible to buy a few little plots dispersed across the countryside.
