Edible Crops
With globalization, technological advances and trade liberalization, food commodities, fresh fruits and vegetables and processed products are produced and move freely between countries more than ever before.
Consumers are now faced with a wide range of food choices. Although price is still the single, most significant factor in shaping consumer choice, consumers are taking an ever-increasing interest in the origin of their food, production methods, food safety, nutrition and food quality

Bioenergy Crops
Bioenergy has recently become one of the most dynamic sectors of the global energy economy. Bioenergy is stored energy from the sun contained in organic matter such as plant matter and animal waste, known as biomass. Two major biomass products used as transportation fuel are bioethanol and biodiesel.
Crops that produce bioethanol are the sugar/starch crops such as corn, potatoes, sugarbeet, sugarcane, sorghum and cassava.
Crops grown for biodiesel are the oil crops such as soybean, rapeseed, oil palm and jatropha.
