Plantation agriculture involves growing a single crop on large areas for industrial use and markets. Since all the produce must reach processing industries and then markets quickly, a well-developed transport and communication network is essential to link plantation areas, processing industries, and markets, ensuring timely delivery and commercial success.

The passage directly states: "a well-developed network of transport and communication connecting the plantation areas, processing industries and markets plays an important role in the development of plantations." Your answer must include all three links — plantation areas → processing industries → markets. Examiners look for this chain. Avoid general statements; cite the specific reason (perishable/industrial raw material nature + market dependency).
