Crops in Savanna

  • Settlements in central Africa, northern Australia and eastern Brazil have shown that the savannas have immense agricultural potential for plantation agriculture of cotton, cane sugar, coffee, oil palm, groundnuts and even tropical fruits.
  • Tropical Queensland, despite its scarcity of labour force has been very successful in developing its huge empty land.
  • Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Malawi have already taken to large-scale production of cotton.
  • In West Africa, the commercial cultivation of groundnuts, oil palm and cocoa have been gradually extended into the savanna lands.
  • In the cooler highlands, temperate crops have been successfully raised.
