Economic interdependence means that different sectors of an economy rely on each other. For example, farmers need equipment manufacturers to produce tractors, while equipment manufacturers need farmers to buy their products. If a region’s farms have a successful harvest, farmers might earn more money and then purchase new equipment, benefiting the manufacturing sector. And if manufacturing businesses prosper, their employees might buy more food, benefiting farmers. However, interconnectedness also means that problems in one sector often affect other sectors.
