i. Plantation crops are generally raised on large estates of more than 40 hectares.

ii. It refers to the large scale, capitalised and often highly centralised cultivation in the plantations of cash crops for export.

It is, therefore, one of the best examples of an export-oriented system. Among the most important crops found on plantations are cotton, sugarcane, coffee, rubber and tobacco.

iii. Estate farming is an outstanding feature of plantation agriculture. Most estates have foreign ownership but the labour employed is local. The largest estates are owned by the Europeans.
