Topic 5.7
How does plantation agriculture primarily differ from other forms of commercial agriculture?
Plantations only grow tropical crops like coffee or cocoa.
Plantation owners typically live off-site rather than on their property unlike other commercial farmers who reside on their farmland most times.
It involves large-scale monoculture production often intended for export markets using labor-intensive methods or low-wage workers.
It uses more machinery and technology compared to other commercial farming types.
