Various factors should be considered in crop selection.
This is a requisite that must be undertaken before actually starting a farming venture.
Even without a predetermined location and site of a farm, the crop to be grown can be decided based mainly on its marketability and profitability.
However, there are many cases, especially in countries with agriculture-based economies in which the farm lot is already available.
It could have been acquired through inheritance, or by purchase, or otherwise transferred through other means.
Whatsoever, crop and varietal selection is the first consideration in starting or developing the farm.
The right decision in the selection of crop or crops to be grown, particularly perennial types, will ultimately convert into a successful farming venture.
