Resource summary

The secondary sector
  1. This sector includes convert raw material into finished or semi-finished products
    1. Raw materials
      1. From plants and animals
        1. Food products
          1. Can be obtained from plants and animals
          2. Textile fibres of plant origin
            1. The most importants fibres are cotton, linen and jute. Main producers are China, USA, Russia and India
            2. Textile fibres of animal origin
              1. The most important is wool, the main producers of this is Australia and New Zeland. Silk is very important too, main producers are China and Japan
              2. Forest products
                1. Wood that is used as a raw material in the cellulose, paper and furniture industries. Other important products are resin, cork and rubber
