distribution of industries in brazil and india
Answers
Answer:
The statistic shows the distribution of employment in Brazil by economic sector from 2009 to 2019. In 2019, 9.22 percent of the employees in Brazil were active in the agricultural sector, 19.78 percent in industry and 71 percent in the service sector.....
Answer:
Brazilian industry has its earliest origin in workshops dating from the beginning of the 19th century. Most of the country's industrial establishments appeared in the Brazilian southeast (mainly in the provinces of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and, later, São Paulo), and, according to the Commerce, Agriculture, Factories and Navigation Joint,[who?] 77 establishments registered between 1808 and 1840 were classified as “factories” or “manufacturers”. However, most, about 56 establishments, would be considered workshops by today's standards, directed toward the production of soap and tallow candles, snuff, spinning and weaving, foods, melting of iron and metals, wool and silk, amongst others. They used both slaves and free laborers.
There were twenty establishments that could be considered in fact manufacturers, and of this total, thirteen were created between the years 1831 and 1840. All were, however, of small size and resembled large workshops more than proper factories. Still, the manufactured goods were quite diverse: hats, combs, farriery and sawmills, spinning and weaving, soap and candles, glasses, carpets, oil, etc. Probably because of the instability of the regency period, only nine of these establishments were still functioning in 1841, but these nine were large and could be considered to “presage a new era for manufactures”.
The advent of manufacturing before the 1840s was extremely limited, due to the self-sufficiency of the rural regions, where farms producing coffee and sugar cane also produced their own food, clothes, equipment, etc., the lack of capital, and high costs of production that made it impossible for Brazilian manufacturers to compete with foreign products. Costs were high because most raw materials were imported, even though some of the plants already used machines.
From a colony whose aim was to export primary goods (sugar, gold and cottom), Brazil has managed to create a diversified industrial base in the XX century. The steel industry is a prime example of that, with Brazil being the 9th largest producer of steel in 2018,[4] and the 5th largest steel net exporter in 2018.[5] Gerdau is the largest producer of long steel in the Americas, owning 337 industrial and commercial units and more than 45,000 employees across 14 countries. Brazil is also a key player in the aircraft market: Embraer is the third largest producer of civil aircraft right after Boeing and Airbus.
The distribution of industries in India is highly uneven. This is so partly on account of uneven distribution of the necessary raw materials and power resources and partly due to the concentration of enterprises, financial resources and other necessary conditions in large towns.
Jharkhand, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, parts of Rajasthan, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu account for most of the reserves of metallic minerals. This area, therefore, particularly the north-eastern part of the peninsula, has a very high concentration of heavy metallurgical industries with almost all the steel centres situated here.
The availability of large quantities of coal and refractory material: along with cheap power from the Damodar Valley Corporation, Hirakud and a number of thermal power projects has added to the advantages. Rajasthan has copper, lead and zinc; Karnataka has steel, manganese and aluminum; and Tamil Nadu has aluminum metal industries.
Agro-based industries including cotton, jute and sugar are heavily concentrated in the raw material producing areas. The forest-based industries including paper, plywood, matches, resins and lac are increasingly finding concentration in the forest areas of various states. The coastal belt of Kerala has a heavy concentration of coir, copra and fish canning industries.
A substantial part of India’s petroleum requirements are met through imports and, therefore, the majority of our refineries are located near major ports. Of the rest, Koyali, Digboi, Noonmati and Bongaigaon refineries are situated close to the petroleum producing areas, and Mathura and Barauni refineries in the interior, away from the coast and oil-producing areas.
The distribution of cement industry is also highly conditioned by the availability of cement grade limestone in the country.
The coastal regions of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu which produce the bulk of salt in the country have also developed large-scale production of inorganic chemicals.
