Plantation Farming in Bolivia

After Argentina, I headed north to Bolivia, a developing country in central South America. In Bolivia, I learned about plantation farming, a form of subsistence farming that is defined by the production of one or more cash crops on a large plot of land. Bolivian plantations usually grow coca, coffee, and various grains. Because plantation farming is a type of subsistence farming, it does not really suit my interests. I really enjoyed my stay in Bolivia, though!

Strengths: produces large amounts of crops

Challenges: most crops are shipped off to MDCs instead of LDCs, high dependency on climate and rainfall
