In the context of economics, factors of production typically include land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. The following items you provided can be categorized as factors of production:
- The chemistry laboratories at Stellenbosch University (capital)
- A skilled bricklayer (labor)
- An unskilled laborer (labor)
- A sugar-cane plantation in northern KwaZulu-Natal (land)
