Today it's capturing the whole world. It's effect of Liberalization and Globaliz ation on agriculture and industry.

LIBERALIZATION Liberalization is a policy measure relating to economic policies. It advocates l iberalizing of economy against unnecessary controls and regulations. It does not support any unwanted restriction. In India this policy was introduced in 1991 as New Industrial Policy to liberate the trade and industry from the restrictions of government and abolished the sy stem of industrial licensing.

Without the policy of liberalization there are undue delays, inefficiency and co rruption. But the policy of liberalization brings transparency in the policy and is a type of economic reform. GLOBALIZATION Globalization is a broad term that is used for an emerging global society in whi ch economic, political, cultural and environmental events taking place in one pa rt of the world quickly come to have significance for people of other parts of t he world.

Globalization, therefore, is the result of communication and information technol ogies. It establishes links between individuals, communities and governments. Va rious international institutions and multinational companies play an important r ole in Globalization. People may continue to live in a single nation but culturally or psychologically they are engaged with the lives of people of other countries. Globalization has both positive as well as negative points. The positive points are: sharing of knowledge, resources technology, investments , values etc. and the negative points are: spreading of diseases, drugs, crime, terrorism, uncontrolled migration etc. The most significant impact of globalizat ion is the increase in trade. In the period from 1950 to 2009, the volume of exp ort grew by 60 times.
