How do we use our own resources to produce products for trade?
In India they use resources like forestry to produce firewood, paper, spices, drugs, herbs, gums, and many more, India has a lot of fish and has more than 400 species of fish, in 2006-2007 600,00 tons of fish was exported.

With all this durable and reliable equipment the crops will be growing large and
