Explanation

A cash crop is a type of crop that is grown for exclusive profit purposes, that is that whoever grows it has the purpose of getting a payment or a remuneration in exchange for the products obtained through the crop. This means, different from subsistence crops that are grown to obtain food for own consumption, cash crops products can be used for exchange for other products or money.

Crops that were used to feed livestock or traded for goods.
