Plantation agriculture
Plantation agriculture is a form of commercial farming where crops are grown for profit. Large land areas are needed for this type of agriculture. Countries that have plantation agriculture usually experience tropical climate with high annual temperatures and receive high annual rainfall.
Plantation agriculture has its roots in the past. In the early 18th and 19th centuries, a number of plantations were set up by westerners and western companies. They employed either local and foreign workers who were willing to work for a small wage. For example, the rubber plantations set up by the British in Malaysia employed many workers from India. Today, most plantations are owned by the local governments or big companies.

Some crops are sold to manufacturing industries as raw materials or partially processed and added value before they are sold for further processing to big companies.
