Secondary-source excerpt (Region/type: commercial agriculture—plantation). In several tropical and subtropical zones, large estates cultivate a single crop such as sugarcane, bananas, tea, or oil palm for distant consumers. Production is capital-intensive in processing and logistics, often coordinated through multinational firms and export contracts. Labor regimes vary historically and today, but management typically emphasizes standardized quality and predictable volumes. Plantations reshape landscapes through drainage, irrigation, and road networks, while local economies become tied to price volatility, trade policy, and certification standards. Some regions diversify into tourism or food crops when global demand shifts.
Which of the following factors most influenced the agricultural system described?
