A crop is a plant or plant product that can be grown and harvested for profit or subsistence. By use, crops fall into six categories: food crops, feed crops, fiber crops, oil crops, ornamental crops, and industrial crops.
Crops can be classified into six groups: food crops (wheat, rice), cash crops (cotton, sugarcane), plantation crops (tea, coffee), horticultural crops (fruits, vegetables), fodder crops (alfalfa, clover), and industrial crops (tobacco, jute).
