The Plantation System:A review




The Plantation System as an Economic and Social Unit

A system of agricultural production with respect to its export orientation and foreign ownership (external dimension)  

A social institution (internal dimension)

An economic unit producing agricultural commodities (field crops or horticultural products, but not live stock) for sale and employing a relatively large number of unskilled labourers whose activities are closely supervised. Plantations usually employ a year round labour crew of some size, and they usually specialize in the production of only one or two marketable products.

Plantation system refers to the totality of institutional arrangements surrounding the production and marketing of plantation crops. A settlement institution i.e. bringing together enterprise, capital and labour from around the world to a new location were land is cultivated into a particular staple.

A unit of authority with control over all aspects of the lives of people within its territory.
