 The indigo cultivators in Bengal were given loans but for that they had to grow indigo on at least 25 percent of the area under their holdings. The planters provided only seed and drill. The rest of works till the crops was harvested, was to be done by the ryots. The price the ryots got for their indigo, was very low. They had to take loans to repay their previous loans. Thus, the cycle of loan was never ending. The planters usually insisted that indigo should be cultivated on the best soils in which peasants preferred to cultivate rice. The indigo crops exhausted the soil rapidly. After an indigo harvest, the land could not be sown with rice. All these circumstances made the situation very grave and finally the indigo production collapsed in Bengal.
