Detailed Solution

The above statement is correct. India produces crops like rubber, cotton, jute, etc. and sells them to different countries in exchange for money or other necessities. Rubber is an industrial raw material and non-food crop as it is extracted from latex hevea types of trees in the equatorial region. Rubber is produced in various states of India, such as Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Meghalaya. Cotton is called ‘the universal fibre’. It is the core of the textile industry as cotton is the most widely used for clothes and other goods. From the writings of Herodotus, a Greek historian, it could be derived that cotton has been used in India since 3000 BC. Jute is one of the most important crops for the commercial industry of agriculture. It is used for making ropes, covers etc. It holds a lot of importance from the business aspect of agriculture as it is the cheapest fibre in the industry and is used for many purposes by different industries.
