Sources of Production Efficiency
A farmer in a coastal region can harvest 100 kilograms of fish per day, while a farmer in a landlocked, mountainous region can only harvest 10 kilograms from a small, stocked pond. The mountainous region, however, has rich soil, allowing that farmer to grow 50 kilograms of potatoes per day, whereas the coastal farmer's sandy soil only yields 5 kilograms of potatoes. What is the primary reason for the difference in their production capabilities?
