Production infrastructure can be provided by both the government and the private sector.

In addition, the availability of labor as a human resource in addition to nature, capital and technology also has an important role for the economy.

“…Land with farmsteads, greenhouses, and horse training facilities are also included, while research facilities land use consists of land used for any cultivated land and associated facilities specifically used for research where the designation for research takes precedence over the specific crops being cultivated. Harrison and Garland (2001) agreed to the fact that agricultural land use includes land being used for horticulture, fruit growing, seed growing, dairy farming, the breeding and keeping of livestock (including any creature kept for the production of food, wool, skins or fur), the use of land as grazing land, meadowland, osier land, market gardens and nursery grounds, and the use of woodlands where that use is ancillary to the farming of land for other agricultural purposes and land under agricultural rotation whether for crops or grassland or left fallow (Adebayo, 2009;Azulaidin and Anwar, 2020). Harrison and Garland (2001) viewed that transport land uses as land used for transport, tracks and ways, transport terminals, interchanges and car parks.…”
