Agriculture is one of the primary means of livelihood for a majority living in the suburbs and rural areas in Sri Lanka. This has a lot to do with the fact that the island receives monsoonal, convectional, and depressional rains annually. Agriculture, especially in Sri Lanka, is a big business now. Farmers must carefully choose the best type of farming for their location. Deciding which is the best type of farming usually depends on several physical factors such as the climate and soil and human factors like the size of the farm, technology, machinery, distance from the markets, and transportation. Agriculture in Sri Lanka typically involves rice, fruits, vegetables, and livestock. Other crops grown in Sri Lanka include coconut, tree, and rubber.
