Answer:
Plantation is a type of
commercial farming. In this type of farming, a single crop is grown on a large
area. The plantation also includes the processing of that crop in the nearby
industries. Plantations cover large tracts of land using capital intensive
inputs, with the help of migrant labourers. All the produce is used as raw
material in respective industries. In India, tea, coffee, rubber, sugarcane,
banana, etc. are important plantation crops. Since the production is mainly for
market, a well developed network of transport and communication connecting the
plantation areas, processing industries and markets play an important role in
the development of plantations.
