Industrialization involves transforming raw materials into finished goods using machines. It is important for economic development as it provides employment, can adjust to consumer demands, and earns foreign currency from exports. The industrial sector has five main components: mining, manufacturing, construction, energy, and water. It faces challenges like skills gaps and environmental issues. Various government agencies promote trade and industry in the Philippines, including the Department of Trade and Industry, Board of Investments, and Philippine Economic Zone Authority. Agriculture and industry are vital as they provide livelihoods, food and raw materials, foreign trade earnings, technological development, and resource transfers.
