Industries. Classification of industries

All branches of the national economy are divided into two large spheres: productive and non-productive. The existence of organizations belonging to the second group (culture, education, consumer services, management) is impossible without the successful development of enterprises first.

Industries: the definition

• industry,
• Agriculture,

• transport,
• Trade and catering,
• Logistical support.

Industry

This industry includes enterprises engaged in the extraction and processing of raw materials, the manufacture of equipment, the production of energy, consumer goods, as well as other similar organizations, which are the main part of such an area as the manufacturing sector. Industries belonging to the industry are divided into:

• Power engineering. Enterprises belonging to this group are engaged in the generation and transmission of electrical energy, as well as control over its sale and consumption. Production of any kind of product without organizations that carry out such activities is impossible.
• Metallurgy . This industry, in turn, is divided into two sub-sectors: color and black. The first group includes enterprises engaged in the extraction of precious metals (gold, silver, platinum), diamonds, copper, nickel, etc. Steel and iron are produced at the iron and steel works.

All industrial enterprises are classified into two large groups:

• Extractive - mines, quarries, mines, wells.
• Processing - combines, factories, workshops.

Agriculture

This is also a very important area of the economy of the state, falling under the definition of "production sphere". The branches of the economy of this orientation are primarily responsible for the production and partial processing of food products. They are divided into two groups: livestock and crop production.

Transport

The organizations of this area of the national economy are responsible for the transportation of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products. The following branches of the production sphere enter into it:

• Motor transportation. The companies of this group mainly deliver goods for short distances.

The success of the operation of enterprises in such sectors as agriculture, industry, construction, etc., directly depends on the efficiency of the activities of transport group companies.
