Sugar was not only a stimulant to consumers but also for anyone else in the production of it‚ more and more sugar was being demanded‚ perhaps because of it accessibility or the money that came out of it. If it weren’t for producers‚ consumers‚ and entrepreneurs sugar production would not have been one of the biggest productions of a crop in the world.

Mass production refers to the making of large quantities of standardized products. The process involves division of labour and each worker specializes in one or two tasks‚ doing repetitive work. On the other hand‚ the craftsman is the expert who is solely responsible for all the steps involved in producing the product. There is assumption that the craftsman is the master who has skill‚ and expertise to ensure that all his products are of a good quality. Whether mass production will inevitably lead

To understand how growth can occur‚ we need to consider the factors of production. Economists observe that in the production of any good‚ four factors of production are involved. These are 1. Land The physical land‚ but also comprising all the natural resources on the earth‚ below the earth or in the atmosphere. There is a distinction between renewable and non-renewable resources. Renewable resources are those that can be used and replaced. For example‚ water in a lake can be used‚ but can

1. Briefly describe salt production from brine production to finished round cans. Salt is produce by drilling the surface for about 2‚400 feet below. Then‚ water is infused in this cave; thus‚ salt is dissolved with the water. The resulting brine is then pumped in the surface‚ boiled and when it evaporates‚ salt crystals will occur with some moisture but can be removed through the drying process. This happen continuously for about 6 weeks but there will come a point where output will reduce (normal

1981-82. Average productivity increased to 2.3 tons per hectare (2.8 tons on irrigated farms) by 1983. By the late 1970s‚ the country had changed from a net importer to a net exporter of rice‚ albeit on a small scale. In the 1980s‚ however‚ rice production encountered problems. Average annual growth for 1980-85 declined to a mere 0.9 percent‚ as contrasted with 4.6 percent for the preceding fifteen years. Growth of value added in the rice industry also fell in the 1980s.
