Cash Crops and Food Crops

What are the types of crops?




Plants that farmers cultivate are called crops. A major part of the Indian economy is played by agriculture. It's the foundation of our nation. Over 70% of Indians depend on agriculture for both food and finances. It is the principal job in rural areas. The weather and soil conditions are the two key factors that affect crop cultivation.

What is a cash crop?
A crop grown for commercial purposes is referred to as a cash crop. Typically, parties other than farms purchase it. The phrase is used to distinguish between crops cultivated for market and those grown for the producer's family or for feeding their livestock.

In India, Kharif and Rabi are the two main seasons for growing crops.

What are Kharif crops?

The title "Kharif" implies fall in Arabic since the season corresponds with the start of either autumn or winter. Monsoon crops are another term for the Kharif crop because they are planted during the monsoon season.

The Kharif season differs in each state of the country, but it normally lasts from June through September. The farmers plant the crop around June and harvest it at the start of monsoon season. Kharif crops include rice, maize, bajra, ragi, soybean, groundnut, and cotton.
