Need help with "to", "for", and "in"..

0 Hi !!!! 02br
02br
00I am writing a journal article on African agriculture. I am trying to make a point that cotton and maize are important crops. 02br
02br
00Should I write: 02br
02br
001. Cotton and maize are important crops in African agriculture. 02br
00 ..... or ..... 02br
002. Cotton and maize are important crops to African agriculture. 02br
00 ..... or ..... 02br
003. Cotton and maize are important crops for African agriculture. 02br
02br
02br
00I tried using a dictionary but it did not help much. Also if someone could why one sentence is correct/better than the others. 02br
02br
00Thanks in advance, 02br

0 I think you could elaborate in each case a slightly different meaning, and that they would complement each other. Was it Lincoln who coined the phrase "Of the people, for the people, 02br
00and by the people"? All have their place, if from a slightly different position. EDIT: Agriculture can be the soil, the economy, or the farmers- right? 0-

Within that paragraph would be specific imprtances of the crops to different segmen
