The rise of cash crops, which are grown primarily for sale rather than subsistence, led to increased commercialization of agriculture. As farmers shifted focus to cultivating these high-demand crops, they often found it more profitable to sell their land and seek work in cities, where industrial jobs were emerging. This urban migration was further fueled by the promise of better wages and living conditions in urban areas compared to the uncertainties of fluctuating crop prices and the demands of farming. Consequently, many rural communities experienced significant depopulation as individuals sought new opportunities in burgeoning urban centers.
