In the data, which LEDC country is associated with large-scale sugarcane farming, contributing 77% of sugarcane production?

• A. India
• B. Jamaica
• C. Swaziland
• D. Brazil

Answer: (C)

Large-scale sugarcane farming tends to dominate agricultural production in some LEDCs where export-oriented plantations and mills drive most of the crop. In this dataset, the country that fits that pattern and contributes about 77% of the sugarcane production is Swaziland. Its economy features extensive sugar plantations and major sugar mills, so a single country accounts for the vast majority of the sugarcane output shown. This concentrates production in one LEDC compared with others, where farming is more varied or spread across many crops.
