Detailed Solution


When a single crop is expanded over a large area, this type of farming is known as Plantation Agriculture. It is also known as a type of commercial farming. This agriculture is very prominent for creating an interface between agriculture and industry. Migrant labourers and capital-intensive inputs following large tracts of landform major aspects of plantation agriculture. The produce is majorly used as raw materials in the respective industries. The major plantation crops in India are tea, coffee, rubber, sugarcane, banana, etc. Some state-specific plantation crops are tea in Assam and North Bengal and Coffee in Karnataka. Most of the produce is market-oriented, so a well-developed network of transport, industries and market plays a significant role in the development of plantations.
