Meaning of industrial crops :

 

Crops that primarily have industrial applications in contrast to food or livestock feed uses. Industrial uses account for a relatively small but a growing and potentially much larger share of the market for farm commodities. Some of the industrial and experimental crops include: castor beans (lubricants, nylon, cosmetics), chia (cosmetics), crotalaria (fibers), cuphea (soap, surfactants), guar (food stiffeners, drilling muds, paper manufacturing), guayule (natural rubber and hypoallergenic latex products), hesperaloe (specialty pulp paper), kenaf (twine, fiberboard, carpet padding, newsprint), lesquerella (lubricants, cosmetics), meadowfoam (cosmetics, lubricants, water repellents), milkweed (insulated clothing, filler for comforters, nonwoven textiles) and plantago ovato (high fiber additive to laxatives). While maize is the primary feedstock for ethanol, it is not considered an industrial crop because nearly 95% of US production goes to feed uses.
