Definition
An estate or large farm operating on the plantation economy model in which the farm operates as a single economic unit whose operations are based on agricultural mass production of a few staple crops (for example: cotton, tobacco, sugar cane, bananas, and/or rubber) that are typically not indigenous to the region.
Description
Plantation economies are often dependent on distant (for example: export) markets as the crops are harvested in large quantities. Historically, industrial farms were often found in former European colonies and termed 'plantations'.
