Plantation, Ranching, Agribusiness

The idea
A plantation is a large landholding in a developing region specialized in one or two crops, usually for export to more developed countries. Ranching is commercial agriculture in which livestock graze over an extensive area. Agribusiness is commercial agriculture engaged in production, processing and distribution of food.
In practice
Nontraditional agricultural exports: new crops beside the old.
Where people slip
Plantations point outward, to export.
