If a country specializes in agriculture, this means that:
**it must trade for (or import) non-agricultural goods.**
When a country specializes in agriculture, it typically focuses on producing agricultural products and may not be able to produce a wide range of non-agricultural goods effectively. As a result, it may need to engage in trade to obtain those other goods.
The other statements do not necessarily follow from agricultural specialization:
- "It engages in a lot of different economic activities" is incorrect, as specialization implies a focus on a specific type of economic activity.
- "It does not have an abundance of arable farmland" can be misleading, as a country might specialize in agriculture precisely because it has good farming conditions.
- "It must trade for (or import) agricultural goods" is also misleading, as specialization generally suggests that a country produces agricultural goods efficiently and might export them instead.
