Why is a monoculture plantation economy considered risky?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it increases dependence on one cash crop and external market

The direct answer is A. A monoculture plantation grows mainly one cash crop, often for sale outside the local area. The chain is: dependence on one crop means disease, drought or price fall can damage the whole income; dependence on an external market means producers cannot control demand or prices; land used for export crops may also reduce food-crop production. A is correct for these reasons. B is wrong because plantations usually require substantial labour. C is wrong because cash-crop concentration does not always improve food security and may weaken it. D is wrong because colonial powers commonly organised plantation production for export and profit. Memory cue: one crop plus one market means high risk.
