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.

When used, crops can be divided into six categories: food, feed, fibre, Kharif, Rabi, and cash crops. Food crops, such fruits and vegetables, are grown for human use. Grain crops, including rice, wheat, and corn, are the most widely grown food crops worldwide.

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.
