Question

Difference between agriculture and non agriculture.

Answer 1

Answer:

Support of agriculture is justified, among others, by its contribution to rural economic

development. Nevertheless, the relation between agricultural and general economic

development may be ambiguous. On the one side, agriculture may affect other sectors

positively via multiplier and income effects. On the other side, competition effects may

arise due to the application of common factors, specifically labour, by agriculture and

other sectors. Under these circumstances, support of agricultural production may create

distorted market signals and thereby affect the medium and long-term economic

development negatively. This research analyses the regionally differentiated relation

between the agricultural and the non-agricultural development empirically. The panel

estimation model applies data of the common regional accounts from NUTS3 regions of

the EU27. It identifies different development regimes with different roles for agriculture.

In the most developed economies, competition effects dominate. Nevertheless, in low-

productivity regions of Eastern Europe, agriculture stabilises the development of

employment and value added. Thereby, policy faces the challenge to support

simultaneously structural change in agriculture and the development of other sectors in

rural regions.

Answer 2

Answer:

Non agriculture :-

In the non-agricultural market access negotiations, products not covered by Annex 1 of the Agriculture Agreement. Fish and forestry products are therefore non-agricultural, along with industrial products in general.

Agriculture :-

The science, art, or practice of cultivating the soil, producing crops, and raising livestock and in varying degrees the preparation and marketing of the resulting products cleared the land to use it for agriculture.
