Explanation
Uzbekistan’s economy has several main branches: agriculture, mining and metallurgy, the energy sector, the textile industry, the machine-engineering industry, car manufacturing, the agro-chemical industry and tourism. Many names are noun + noun: energy industry, textile industry, car industry, tourism industry; others use an adjective + noun: chemical industry, agricultural sector. Uzbekistan is rich in raw materials such as cotton, silk, gold and natural gas and exports many products, while it imports others. Joint ventures attract foreign investment. Word building: produce – producer – production; export – exporter; manufacture – manufacturer; invest – investment.
Worked examples
Cotton is grown in the fields and processed in textile mills; the textile industry makes fabric and clothes. Fertilizers are made by the agro-chemical industry. A joint venture is a company owned together by firms from different countries.
Word families: produce → producer → production; export → exporter; import → importer. A country that exports cotton fabric is a cotton exporter.
