During the earlier part of history, cash crops were used as a part of a farm's total yield. Today, especially in developed countries, almost all crops are cash crops. In non-developed nations cash crops are usually crops that attract demand in more developed nations, giving them more export value. A consequence of a failing cash crop is that a nation, region, or individual producer relying on one crop may suffer low prices should a cheaper crop, elsewhere, lead to excess supply on the global markets. This system is criticized by traditional farmers.
