Study Notes
Economic Characteristics of Agriculture
- Agricultural products are seasonal, meaning they are only produced during specific periods of the year.
- Examples include summer and winter crops.
- Unlike consumer and industrial goods, agricultural goods are not continuously produced.
- Seasonality is due to factors such as:
- Climate conditions (temperature, wind, humidity)
- Biological factors (soil, insects).
- Agricultural operations occur in specific seasons.
- This seasonal production impacts farm work scheduling.
- Peak agricultural labor demand occurs in specific months, like May, June, July, September, and October.
- Seasonal unemployment results from varying farm work demands throughout the year.
- Farmers' income is often seasonal.
- Crops like wheat, cotton, and rice have income concentrated in harvest seasons.
- Animal products like dairy, eggs, poultry, and fish have relatively consistent incomes throughout the year.
- Agricultural industries are sometimes seasonal, which creates problems for those who depend on raw agricultural materials.
- Production is often not distributed evenly across the year.
- Storage processes are needed to address uneven production.
- The price of a stored product factors in storage costs and returns on investment.
