To prepare this systematic literature we navigated using guide of the Centre for Reviews and Disseminations (DSR), nevertheless, with certain adaptation that suit the envisioned nature of this systematic review. We used the endnote online search mode and gathered the relevant results from the selected databases during the course of the search using appropriate search keys.  We strictly adhered to certain criteria’s that are in line with the needs of the systematic literature review. The outcome of the systematic review reveals that both past and contemporary scholars indicates concern and commitment on the available themes of the results that emerged regarding the cash crop production. The result of the study further divulges that both past and contemporary scholars took more interest in the area of cash crops and smallholders/households than other potential themes.
