Search Results - Plantation

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Fundamentally, a plantation is usually a large farm or estate, especially in a tropical or semitropical country, on which cotton, tobacco, coffee, sugar cane, or trees and the like are cultivated, usually by resident laborers.

A plantation is an intentional planting of a crop, on a larger scale, usually for uses other than cereal production or pasture. The term is currently most often used for plantings of trees and shrubs. The term tends also to be used for plantings maintained on economic bases other than that of subsistence farming.

A crop may be called a plantation because of their association with a specific type of farming economy. Most of these involve a large landowner, raising crops with economic value rather than for subsistence, with a number of employees carrying out the work. Often it refers to crops newly introduced to a region. In past times it has been associated with slavery, indentured labour, and other economic models of high inequity. However, arable and dairy farming are both usually (but not always) excluded from such definitions. A comparable economic structure in antiquity was the latifundia that produced commercial quantities of olive oil or wine, for export.

Industrial plantations are established to produce a high volume of wood in a short period of time. Plantations are grown by state forestry authorities (for example, the Forestry Commission in Britain) and/or the paper and wood industries and other private landowners (such as Weyerhaeuser and International Paper in the United States, Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) in Indonesia). Christmas trees are often grown on plantations as well. In southern and southeastern Asia, rubber, oil palm, and more recently teak plantations have replaced the natural forest.

1. Choosing the Right Plantation Shutters
November 14, 2008

Plantation shutters aren’t just a window treatment; they’re a home improvement project. So, which one’s are right for you. Of all the window treatments you could buy for your home, only plantation shutters add real value to your home. Just ask a realtor. That’s not to say that all the other window treatments don’t add value; they certainly make your home more attractive and livable but they won’t necessarily add to the appraisal value. I guess it has something to do with the perceived longevity and permanency of shutters that distinguishes them from other blinds and shades. Thi... (read more)
