cash crops with high added value


Explanation:
you can drop the "dites" in this case, and economists talk about "value added" but "added value" makes more sense in my book!
"productions": "Crop peut avoir le sens de 'productions' : Les productions fourragères = forage crops; la productionde veaux de l'année = the year's calf crop" (INRA glossary by Laurence de Bonneval)
