Answer to Question 1

False
RATIONALE: Although cash crops are important sources of revenue in these poor countries, excessive dependence on them, as with other commodities, can harm a country's economy. The income they bring often goes almost exclusively to already prosperous farmers and corporations. The prices they fetch are vulnerable to sudden losses amid changing world market conditions. The plants themselves are susceptible to drought and disease. Finally, they are often grown instead of food crops, and cash crops do not feed hungry people.

Answer to Question 2
