1.	What made Swapna sell the cotton to the trader instead of selling at the Kurnool cotton market?
Answer» Swapna was a small farmer. Her production of cotton was in small quantity. She did not have capital even to purchase seeds, pesticides, and fertilizers required to start cultivation of cotton. The trader was a powerful man in the village and the farmers depended on him for loans not only for cultivation, but also to meet other exigencies such as illnesses, children’s school fees. Also, there are times in the year when there is no work and no income for the farmers, so borrowing money is the only means of survival. Swapna had to take loan at high interest from the trader under a condition to sell her cotton to him. She had to pay him the principal loan amount and interest thereon as well as sell her cotton to the trader. Due to these reasons, Swapna was bound to sell her cotton to the trader instead of selling it at the Kurnool cotton market.
