The length of the wet season and access to irrigation determines the selection, extent and number of crop cycles in 1 year. Other important food crops that are grown in cropland areas include peanut, sweet potato, soybean, mungbean, cassava and tobacco. ‘Upland’ is typically located further away from the house, is larger in area, and is usually less accessible. This land often includes sloping ground with shallow and less fertile soils and no access to irrigation; and is used to grow perennial fruit (e.g. mango, coconut, cashew), fibre (e.g. kapok) and timber crops (e.g. teak, bamboo).
