Cash Crops

Why were cash crops important to early farmers? And how did it change the period of time? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.61.99.69 (talk • contribs) 10:21, 19 October 2005 (UTC).

They were important to early farmers due to the amount of finance that they would earn. 2400:1F00:2:25FF:2559:4C0:D7EF:6A98 (talk) 10:22, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Removed content

I've reverted an edit that removed the article's see also section, categories and interwiki link. The edit added the following content, which may be worth adding back to the article if it can be appropriately sourced:

Some cash crops in times of slavery were cotton, indigo, and rice. Often times planters would send cash crops on ships to places thay could get the most money from, or would trade the cash crops for things thay needed, like animal supplies or common house old items.

Africa isn't a country

Including it under the heading "by country" appears to suggest that it is. I dunno how best to fix this though, can someone take a look? Thanks. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 09:57, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Lots of countries

Considering the amount of countries that aren't anglocentric, how would we fit them all the different countries with their cash crops in? Funkyman99 (talk) 23:51, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Cash crops in developed countries

Given that in developed countries no one is a subsistence farmer and every crop is produced for sale, then singling out individual crops, like, for example, in the Australia entry, is absurd. Shouldn't every crop grown be listed as a "cash crop"?

You can see here[1] that lentils are not significant enough to make this list of cash crops in Australia, whereas the entry implies some significance.

Other developed nations are similar. XabqEfdg (talk) 08:08, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
