A plantation is a large farm or estate where crops are cultivated, often specializing in a single type of crop. Common crops grown on plantations include cotton, sugarcane, tobacco, and coffee. These farms typically rely on a significant labor force to manage the extensive land and production processes. Historically, plantations have been associated with the use of slave labor in various parts of the world, particularly in the United States and Caribbean. Today, many plantations operate under different labor practices and focus on sustainable farming methods to reduce environmental impact and improve working conditions.
