This essay engages the problem of agriculture and the market from the point of view of production. India is a nation of small-holder farmers where agriculturalists have been integrated into commercial cash cropping over long-distance commodity chains for a very long time. It is the nature of those markets, their relation to the state, and to the farming household that undertakes agricultural commodity production, that has changed. Through a techno-political history of the cotton seed, I examine new conjunctions between the cultivating household and the market to illustrate the paradox of small-holder commercial agriculture in India
