farm ing) is the process of producingfood , feed,fiber and other goods by the systematic raising of plants and animals. Agricultural output is a component of the nominalGross Domestic Product of a nation. Though China and the EU lead the world in agricultural output, the US still leads the world in agricultural productivity per farmer among large economies. Fact|date=February 2007;Industrial sector"Industry" is the segment of economy concerned with production of goods (including
fuel s andfertiliser s). Industrial output is a component of the nominalGross domestic product of a nation. The proliferation of "Made in China" labels clearly signify the next wave of industrial revolution in the modern era. However, UK still leads the world infactory productivity per labour. Fact|date=February 2007;Service sectorA "service" is the non-material equivalent of a good. Service provision is defined as an economic activity that does not result in
ownership , and this is what differentiates it from providing physical goods. It is claimed to be a process that creates benefits by facilitating either a change incustomer s, a change in their physicalpossession s, or a change in their intangibleasset s. Service output is a component of the nominalGross domestic product of a nation. Giganticsupermarket s, luxuryshowroom s and servicedoffice s are peculiar features of the advancedeconomies . Fact|date=February 2007If the economy continues moving at the same rate, China should overtake Germany as 3rd ranking in 2009, Japan as second in 2012 and should replace the United States of America as the world's biggest economy on earth in 2030, meaning that the United States will have been the world's richest nation for 90 years. Great Britain was the world's richest nation and had the largest economy from May 1759 till November 1940.
On a similar note, India should overtake Germany in 2020 and Japan in 2023. It could well put the United States into third position by 2041, although this speculation would assume similar average rates of growth over the next 30 years. Brazil may push the United States into fourth position by 2052.
The position of the European Union is unclear, as there is much debate as to whether it will ever be one united country.
It should be noted that the service sector includes (but is not limited to) farm and factory related activities.
