tropical crop

Equatorial agricultural product

A tropical crop is a plant cultivated in warm, humid regions near the equator—typically between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.

Coffee, bananas, cacao, sugarcane, and rubber are classic examples.

These crops require consistent warmth and cannot tolerate frost, which limits where they can be grown commercially.
