Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Agriculture was the main profession of the people of Indus Valley. The land was pretty fertile when the Harappans used to live there. In the cities of Harappa and Mohenjodaro, leftovers of large granaries were found that suggest that they produced was more than their requirements.

Detailed explanation-2: -India’s first civilization developed in the Indus Valley because the Indus river system brings a steady source of irrigation water to the Indus Valley that made farming in this otherwise dry region possible. Regular river flooding also deposited fertile soil that was good for crops.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Harappan people used to trade with foreign lands traveling through seas. The seaports found in Harappan civilization state that they were not bound to their own territories. They had traded with Iran and Afghanistan for Minerals, while Lead and Copper were exported from India.
