Because of the abundance of natural resources in the Northeast region, many people have made the region their home. They had lumber to make their homes, fertile soil to grow their food and many rivers that made transporting goods between the states much easier.
Economy of the region is largely agrarian in nature with over 70% of the population engaged in agriculture for livelihood, service sector comes next and the manufacturing sector is still at a nascent stage.
