1) Industrial crops : An industrial crop, also called a non-food crop, is a crop grown to produce goods for manufacturing, for example of fibre for clothing, rather than food for consumption.
2) Purpose of industrial crops: Industrial crops is a designation given to an enterprise that attempts to raise farm sector income, and provide economic development activities for rural areas. Industrial crops also attempt to provide products that can be used as substitutes for imports from other nations.
3) examples : bamboo, cotton, Tobacco, Jute,
potato, sunflower.

4) Commercial crops: A commercial crop also known as cash crop, is an agricultural crop which is grown for sale to return a profit. It is typically purchased by parties separate from a farm.
5) Purpose: In earlier times cash crops were usually only a small (but vital) part of a farm's total yield, while today, especially in developed countries, almost all crops are mainly grown for revenue. In the least developed countries, cash crops are usually crops which attract demand in more developed nations, and hence have some export value.
6) examples: tea, coffee, soyabean, cocoa, sugarcane, wheat, apples.
