Which term refers to fruits of industry essential farm crops grown and harvested?

• A. Fructus Naturales
• B. Fructus Industriales
• C. Emblements
• D. Trade Fixtures

Answer: (B)

In property law, crops produced by human labor and cultivation are called fructus industriales. These crops are treated as personal property, not part of the land itself, so the person who planted and harvested them owns and can remove them. This distinguishes them from fructus naturales, which are crops that grow naturally on the land without cultivation and are tied to the real property. Emblements refer to annual crops that a tenant cultivates; while they’re associated with the land, they belong to the cultivator who planted them and can be harvested after a lease ends. Trade fixtures are items installed for a business and are a different concept altogether. Therefore, the term that fits “fruits of industry essential farm crops grown and harvested” is fructus industriales.
