The cultivation of plantation crops has played a pivotal role in shaping agricultural practices, economies, and landscapes across the globe. From lush tea estates nestled in the hills of Assam to expansive rubber plantations in Southeast Asia, these crops have not only served as vital sources of income for millions of farmers but have also contributed significantly to global trade and food security. This work seeks to explore the diverse world of plantation crops, delving into their historical context, economic importance, and the environmental challenges they face. Plantation crops such as coffee, cocoa, rubber, and palm oil have long been intertwined with the social fabric of their regions, influencing local cultures and economies. However, with the rising concerns over sustainability, deforestation, and climate change, it is imperative that we reassess our approaches to plantation agriculture.
