This was a traditional question which was quite popular with the candidates. The question which was in two parts required the candidates to
(i) distinguish between food crops and cash crops;
(ii) outline any four contributions of agriculture to the economic development of their respective countries.
The candidates performed very well in this question particularly in the 'b' part of the question. A significant number could not adequately distinguish between food crops and cash crops.
Food crops are produced basically to provide food for the population while cash crops are produced basically for exports to earn income or foreign exchange for the economy and for industrial uses.
