Answer:

The drawbacks of voluntary trade during India's Vedic Age are given below:

Explanation:

The Vedic Age in India (c. 1500 BC-c. 500 BC), also known as the Vedic Period, was the time when the Vedas (the oldest sacred texts in India) were written. During the earliest part of this period and even the period which preceded it, economy was mainly characterized as being self-sufficient, so trade was not so popular. This meant that there were some drawbacks of voluntary trade, for example:

  • little scope for product exchange
  • households produced just the necessary supplies for the family
  • the surplus was stored for future use
  • the different neighbouring areas were not connected by trade, as they were self-sufficient
  • each farm produced their own grains, clothing and other commodities
  • roads were poorly made, so trade was difficult - they traveled down the rivers instead of roads
  • people were semi-nomadic
  • economic exchange was in the form of gift-giving
