Why did the desire for revenue and demand for commercial crops grow together among causes of deforestation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Both made land profitable in the colonial economy

The colonial government sought higher land revenue, so forests were cleared to expand cultivable land. At the same time, market demand for commercial crops such as indigo, cotton, jute and tea made this land more profitable. Thus, the drive for revenue and the expansion of commercial crops together encouraged deforestation. Option B is incorrect because the main colonial aim was to increase production and income, not wildlife conservation. Exam tip: Link land revenue, agricultural expansion and cash crops while explaining the economic causes of deforestation.
