Where is plantation agriculture most common and what types of crops are being produced?

Plantation agriculture is most commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly in parts of Southeast Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. This type of agriculture typically focuses on the large-scale production of cash crops such as sugar, coffee, tea, rubber, cocoa, and oil palm. These crops are often grown for export, making plantation agriculture a significant contributor to the economies of many developing countries. The model relies heavily on monoculture and can have substantial environmental impacts.
