PLS HELP ASAP<br> decribe the importance of agriculture of the people in central america
sasho [114]

They probably have to import some industrial products and if they had a bad year (weather, other catastrophies, poor technology) they can't get the necessary amount of industrial products in exchange for their surplus e. g. in grain. There are so many standards and requirements about the quality of food production that no country can survive solely on agriculture without high quality technology (machines, unharmful fertilizers, research-based breeding, etc.).
