Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sugar became the dominant crop in the Caribbean after 1650 due to the high demand for sugar in Europe and the availability of land and a labor force to cultivate the crop. Tobacco was an important crop earlier on, but its profitability declined over time. Cotton was also grown, but it was not as widely cultivated as sugar. Date palms were not a major crop in the Caribbean.
