How did cash crops encourage people to move to the city?

Cash crops, which are agricultural products grown for commercial value rather than for personal consumption, often led to increased agricultural productivity and profitability. As farmers shifted their focus to these lucrative crops, they generated surplus income, which prompted many to seek better opportunities in urban areas, including jobs in processing, transportation, and trade. This migration was further fueled by the need for labor in cities to support the burgeoning agricultural economy, ultimately driving urbanization and transforming rural populations into city dwellers.
