Cash crops in India are mainly produced for commercial purposes and sold in national and international markets. One of the most popular ways of producing cash crops is by monocropping in which a single crop is cultivated on a piece of land. Additionally, exports of these crops help farmers in increasing their income. With an export volume of over 7 lakh metric tonnes, India is a leading exporter of cotton which is also a prime example of a cash crop.

Cash crops are often replaced with the production of staple food such as wheat, rice, corn, maize, and millets for gaining profit in the international and national market. The surplus production of agricultural produce ensures increased income and better access to food. It is brought to the market yards or mandis and prepared for auctions. Aadathiyas organize these auctions and ultimately sell the products to potential buyers. However, it is hard to do mandi accounting by hand.
