tropical crops
Warm climate produce
Tropical crops are plants cultivated in warm, humid regions near the equator—typically between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
The term encompasses commodities like coffee, cocoa, sugarcane, bananas, and palm oil that require year-round warmth and cannot tolerate frost.
Many tropical crops are grown primarily for export to temperate countries: The economy depends heavily on tropical crops like rubber and coconuts.
