What is the raw material?<\/h2>\n

The raw material is matter extracted from nature<\/strong> what, After going through transformation processes, it becomes a good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This transformation provides value to the initial product and contributes with<\/strong> the development of the economy<\/strong>. For example, oil is the raw material for fuel.<\/p>\n

Characteristics of the raw material<\/h2>\n

The characteristics that define the raw material are the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Its production depends on the season<\/strong>, because there are products that are only obtained at a certain time of the year.<\/li>\n
  • It is part of the means of production of final goods<\/strong> for consume.<\/li>\n
  • It can be renewable or non-renewable.<\/li>\n
  • It fulfills a fundamental role in the production process.<\/li>\n
  • It is extracted from nature by the primary sector and transformed for consumption by the secondary sector.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Types of raw material<\/h2>\n

    We can classify the raw material as follows:<\/p>\n

    \"Types<\/p>\n

    The raw material can be classified based on its origin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
    • Vegetable<\/strong>: that matter that is extracted from vegetation, <\/strong>such as wood, fruits, seeds, wheat, soy, among others.<\/li>\n
    • Animal: <\/strong>matter that comes from animals, <\/strong>such as skins, milk, wool, silk, meat, among others.<\/li>\n
    • Mineral<\/strong>: matter that originates from the earth<\/strong> from natural processes that occur in the soil, resulting in gold, silver, iron, copper, among others.<\/li>\n
    • Liquid or gaseous<\/strong>: materials such as water, oxygen, hydrogen and all those products found in nature in these states.<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Fossil: <\/strong>matters such as oil, diamonds, natural gas and those originated from plants and organisms<\/strong> who live on earth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Importance of raw material<\/h2>\n

      Raw material plays an extremely important role in people's lives, since constitutes the main means for the production of goods used for basic consumption<\/strong>. So, without these matters, the survival of man would not be possible.<\/p>\n

      In addition, it is the main link in the economic sectors that develop the production process, which would not be possible without the existence of raw material.<\/p>\n

      Examples of raw materials<\/h2>\n

      Some examples of raw materials are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
