The policy of commercialization of agriculture by the British encouraged market oriented production of cash crops such as opium, tea, coffee, sugar, jute and indigo. Indian peasants were forced to grow these cash crops that spoiled the fertility of the land and no other crop could be grown on it.

Like they wanted to get money they were forcing indian farmers to grow indigo in there field. Indigo plant was used for colouring so they used to use it for printing designs on clothes. And spices like cinamon,cloves etc...though they grew spices in there land but those spices did not have the taste that the indian spices had.
So they even used to export spices from india
