Innovative developments and technologies are used in the transport sphere. The agrocomplex is also actively developing. Livestock significantly prevails over plant growing. The reason for this were resource-saving trends, which appeared for the first time back in 1980. The sectoral structure of the entire German economy is based on three main points.
