Explanation:

Truck Farming basically is used for many types of perishable crops.In fact it has got nothing to do with crop but perishability.Mostly vegetables and some perishable fruits have to be taken to the market quickly as they are plucked, like we get leafy vegetables, tomato etc in urban areas.These vegetables are plucked early in the morning and are quickly sent to the retail markets.This includes many fruits also.
