What is Production?

• Production is the process of taking resources and changing them into products

• These resources could be either raw materials or component parts

• Production can take place within the primary, secondary or tertiary sector



What is Production?

• Where ‘inputs’ are processed and turned into ‘outputs’

• When raw materials or components are processed - we call it ‘adding value’

• Careful planning is needed in any production method (arrival of materials at correct stage in process)



Examples of Adding Value

• Dairy farmers can add value to their milk by processing their own products, such as cheeses, yogurt, butter, ice cream, and farm-bottled milk

• Many consumers will pay a premium for locally produced, high-quality dairy products

• Organic certification may also help
