Bumper Production Boon or Bane for Farmers

Answer: For farmers, bumper production can be both a boon or a bane depending on market situations and the business opportunities at that period of time.

1. As a boon: In most circumstances, a big crop is a blessing or a windfall to the farmers. When farmers have a bountiful crop, they grow more to increase sales revenue. Farmers are more likely to make higher returns when their commodities reach the market in a timely manner, and it becomes a significant success.
2. As a bane: Most farmers don’t plan ahead of time, and their bumper crop ends up being a failure or a bane due to a shortage of storage and transportation.
