6. Economic crop What is an Economic crop?
Economic crop is also called a cash crop. It is a crop that a country depends on for trade. In some cases it is the main revenue earner for the country
Economic crops are grown all over the world and are usually grown in the poorer countries which allow the more wealthy countries to get the substances for small prices, but they are still going to be the main income for countries such as Africa and India
You will find that many countries rely on the economic crops to ensure that they are going to have trades with other countries and to ensure that there is a regular income for the population and the country as a whole.
