Permanent crops
Definition:
Crops are divided into temporary and permanent crops. Permanent crops are sown or planted once and then occupy the land for some years and do not need to be replanted after each annual harvest, such as cocoa, coffee and rubber. This category includes flowering shrubs, fruit trees, nut trees and vines, but excludes trees grown for wood or timber.
