How did commercial crops and land tax together increase deforestation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Both made forest land profitable for agricultural expansion and revenue

Commercial crops such as tea, coffee, indigo, jute and sugarcane required more cultivated land. At the same time, land tax provided the colonial government with a regular source of revenue. Clearing forests for cultivation and settlement therefore became economically profitable for the state and plantation owners, increasing deforestation. Option B is incorrect because the colonial government generally tried to control or restrict shifting cultivation. Exam tip: Link commercial agriculture with land revenue when explaining the economic causes of deforestation.
