An industrial crop is a crop grown to produce goods to be used in the production sector, rather than food for consumption. Industrial crops impact the economy by providing a product which lessens the need for imports.

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.[1]

Examples of industrial crops

For example, to produce fibre for clothing. Some examples include flax, hemp, cotton and kapok. Fiber crops are amongst the most common industrial crops. They are different from cash crops as they do not supply to an industry.

Dangers of industrial crops contamination

The danger of industrial crops is not the products being grown, but rather the items used to stimulate the growth of the these crops.
