Which term describes the growing of crops for sale as opposed to consumption?

• A. Cash Crop
• B. Commercial Farming
• C. Output
• D. Specialisation

Answer: (A)

This is about crops grown specifically to be sold rather than eaten by the farmer. That focus on selling for money is described as a cash crop. Cash crops are produced to generate income and are often traded in markets or exported, rather than being grown for personal consumption.

Commercial farming refers to farming on a larger scale for profit in general, not necessarily tied to the purpose of the crop being sold versus eaten. Output is just the amount produced, not the purpose behind producing it. Specialisation means concentrating on producing one main crop or a limited range of products, which is about focus, not the sale-vs-consumption purpose.
