Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement that sugar could be purchased only by the wealthy is not an accurate reason for why sugar was called a rich man's crop. While sugar was certainly expensive in the early days of its production, as refining processes became more efficient and widespread, it became more affordable for people of all income levels. The other statements are all accurate reasons why sugar was considered a high-cost crop, as it required extensive planting, land clearing, refining, and capital investment.
