Although there was a noticeable increase in this sector, it remained very
small relative to the whole economy. Most of the production was organized in
workshops or was home based. The number of wage labor remained minuscule.
Although some machinery was introduced, the methods of production remained
primarily the same with limited use of motor power.
2.3.4 The Tertiary Sector
The tertiary sector underwent substantial growth in the import and export
trade, other auxiliary services (including transportation and banking), and those
services associated with the growth of the urban population.
The substantial expansion of agricultural production resulted, among other
things, in a surplus production of cereals, and in a phenomenal increase in the
production of cash crops. Although these products were exported to the regional
market prior to the 1850s, afterwards they were increasingly exported to Europe.
For the period 1856-1882, according to Scholch, exports increased
tremendously compared to the first half of the century. While there are no statistics
on the volume of products exported for the first half of the nineteenth century,
there are figures for the value of exports, and thus making a comparison possible,
to be discussed below. However, a presentation of some of Scholch’s findings for
the volume of exports is very useful.
