Plantation agriculture refers to a form of commercial farming where crops are grown on a large scale. It is typically practiced in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The crops grown are usually cash crops, meaning they are sold on the global market for a high price. The main characteristics of plantation agriculture include large estates or plantations, a high degree of specialization in one or two high-demand crops for the market, significant use of technology, and a labor force that lives on the plantation. Some of the most common crops grown on plantations include sugarcane, coffee, cocoa, bananas, and pineapples. The goal of plantation agriculture is to produce a specific crop for sale, often for export to other countries.
Example- rubber, coffee, tea, cotton
