Producers and Consumers
A consumer is someone who
buys goods or uses services.
A producer is someone who
makes goods or provides
a service.
Consumers in our community
work hard to earn money to buy
the goods and services they
need. They work in various types
of jobs depending on their
education and skills.
Some people are good artists who make
beautiful things for consumers to wear or
display in their homes. Some people are
engineers who make machines work to
help farmers grow more food.
Other people are skilled farmers who grow
food to feed other community members.
People in the community work together, for
each other; they are interdependent.
