increased farming technology that was developed during the Second Agricultural Revolution. Planned agricultural economies are those in which the government controls the supply and price of agricultural goods. Ex. USSR 5 Principle Differences between Commercial & Subsistence 1. Purpose (C= profit, S= survival) 2. Effort (C= more capital intensive, S= more labor intensive) 3. Labor (C= less people, more machines, S= more people, less machines) 4. Land (C= large farms, S= small farms) 5. Economics (C= part of agribusiness, S= industry) Unit 6- Industrial & Economic Geography Economic Sectors Primary Sector The primary sector of the economy extracts or harvests products from the earth. The primary sector includes the production of raw material and basic foods. Activities associated with the primary sector include agriculture (both subsistence and commercial), mining, forestry, farming, grazing, hunting and gathering, fishing, and quarrying. The packaging and processing of the raw material associated with this sector is also considered to be part of this sector. Secondary Sector The secondary sector of the economy manufactures finished goods. All of manufacturing, processing, and construction lies within the secondary sector. Activities associated with the secondary sector include metal working and smelting, automobile production, textile production, chemical and engineering industries, aerospace manufacturing, energy utilities, engineering, breweries and bottlers, construction, and shipbuilding.
