Location advantages and characteristics of tropical planting industry

(1) Natural location:

The climate is hot and rainy; The terrain is flat and open; Dense population and abundant labor force.

(2) humanistic orientation:

Plantations generally cover thousands to tens of thousands of hectares and employ thousands of farmers to engage in large-scale production. The number of plantations in a country is not necessarily large, but they occupy a major or even monopoly position in the production of cash crops in that country.

There is a complete set of production and living facilities in the plantation. Many plantations have not only agricultural and transportation machinery, but also road systems, agricultural products processing plants, agricultural machinery repair shops, power and water supply, education and health facilities. Many plantations are funded by foreign monopoly companies, and the direct operators are managers and staff employed by the companies, which is obviously different from agricultural factories run by individuals.

2, production characteristics:

Large-scale intensive farms planting single cash crops (large-scale, labor-intensive agriculture; Planting one or more cash crops is the pillar of the national economy; The commodity rate of products is high; Low degree of mechanization; Affected by historical factors).

Plantation agriculture is often engaged in large-scale production. The park has complete production and living facilities. Many plantations have not only agricultural and transportation machinery, but also road systems, agricultural products processing plants, agricultural machinery repair shops, power and water supply, education and health facilities.

There are many special plant resources in these areas, such as natural rubber, coffee, cocoa and tea. Banana, pineapple, mango; Oil palm, sisal, tobacco, cotton and jute play an important role in the world economic crops.
