A cash crop refers to a crop that is primarily grown for the purpose of being sold for profit rather than for personal use or subsistence. Cash crops are typically cultivated in large quantities and are traded in local, national, or international markets. Their production and sale contribute significantly to a region's economy and foreign exchange earnings. Some examples of cash crops include cotton, tobacco, coffee, cocoa, tea, sugarcane, wheat, corn, soybeans, and rice, among others.
