The truth is agriculture form the basic core of any economy yes it true that oil is a big money venture but agriculture play a great role in sterilizing the economy as it creat job opportunities and making food security possible in any economy

Both of them are important, but even with such, I think agriculture is more easier that everyone can easily have access to. In agriculture, you can even practice it in your house since it is defined as the cultivation of plants and rearing of animals for used. with the above definition, even if you are rearing cows, goats or fowls , you are already practicing agriculture and also if you have a garden at the back of your house like orange, tomatoes, mangoes or banana, you are already practicing agriculture and you can not be counted one of the idle ones because you are already having something doing.
Agriculture is very much better than oil because it deal directly with our life


If we talk about providing money for the nation, both of them are important to the economy of the country. but when you talk about advantage and disadvantage, oil has more disadvantages due to the following;
1. environmental pollution: take a look at area where they are having oil, even drinkable water is hard for them as a result of this oils particularly crude oil.
     In these areas, even farming activities can not do good there because of the lack of soil fertility cause by crude oil activities.
2. crisis: since everyone believe that there is money in oil and high demand, they used to be competition among individuals on how to get access to it, which will lead to high concentration in the area. For example, Nigeria, there are group called Niger delta militant. these group don't always settle with government and security.

Agriculture and oil are two things that cannot be lost on this earth because of all the regions in the world, I don't think there is a single person who does not consume agricultural products and also oil. So this must always be there because it cannot be ignored by everyone, especially since the need for food and oil to carry out the production of every important item in life is increasingly needed in today's conditions. So these two things will continue to be consumed by many people forever in order to achieve other, newer things.

If we look at it differently from another perspective, we will also need each other, such as rich countries that have income through oil will also use the proceeds from that oil to buy more food from other countries. So that countries that produce more agriculture and food can also benefit from this, even though countries that have more agricultural land also need oil. Because of this, efforts must also be made to be able to cultivate more land in a fairly short time by relying on machines and also the latest, more effective methods.

If we examine it, both of them really need each other, because currently in the agricultural sector the average person uses machines and they have to use oil to operate, and currently rich countries have the biggest income from oil, and for agricultural issues we all need food, so both of them are mutually exclusive. need.

very closely related in this century they need each other in the agricultural and oil sectors. we still consume oil every day without a solution in the future, even if there is one, it is not yet optimal with the sound of machines processing in factories, industry which all needs machines, if there was no oil, it would be difficult for the economy to recover because it is a necessity for daily consumption by the people

Today's world without oil would be challenging for a moment. And the use of oil in agriculture has ushered in a revolutionary chapter. It is because of this demand for oil that the global energy competition is going on around it.
Agriculture for food production, and oil for agriculture, each element is closely related to each other. Without oil, agricultural production would be greatly reduced. Likewise, if agricultural production declines, food shortages may occur throughout the world.

As it stands right now I believe oil has the upper hand in this argument though I don’t think it will remain so in the future, Speaking from the angle of futuristic development. I believe the world as a global village is gradually shifting away from oil as a source of energy to more sustainable sources like solar and electricity.

I can also see this futuristic development affecting the agricultural industry positively cause everyday more and more companies and countries are investing and advancing in developing the robotics industry, this will also affect the oil sector because robots don’t run on oil although it will lead to more agricultural production so I believe in some years to come agriculture will surpass oil.

Agriculture and oil are two things that cannot be separated, in this case palm oil, like in Indonesia, the palm oil industry has a very large and important role in growing the community's economy. So every year there is diplomacy with developed countries to encourage the price of agricultural products in Indonesia, especially oil, to be purchased at high prices. This opportunity continues to be exploited by farmers.so that there is sustainability throughout the international world, advanced agriculture, happy society

It may not be right to choose just one. All resources for a country should be complementary, that is, income should be provided from both agriculture and oil and this income should be permanent. Each resource has its own unique function.

As you said, every resource is important for a nation to use its economic potential. The most important issue is the effective use of these resources and obtaining benefits as a result of this use.

Both of them are important atleast for now hahhaha there are so much product that derived from OIL and deal with it that we all depend on this black gold no matter what.

Tho Agriculture is highly important like you have said before because we all need food etc but if I am the government Im also gonna see this sector because oil itseft is not sustainable for the future but food always need in the future so money from the Black Gold gonna use it for research in agriculture

Malaysia also has tourism as well, many do have additional possibilities in their economy besides agriculture.  The most obvious benefit to agriculture is to cut imports or a requirement for reliance on other nations for basic needs of the population.   Malaysia has technology its not nearly an agrarian economy as that perspective would suggest, I think they have many options available for growth within their economic sectors not just one choice which is dangerous if you think about.
  I know someone from Malaysia who works in telecoms for a Japanese firm who are desperate for staff, reason being they are fully capable of fluent formal Japanese speech with customers and that made their labor available internationally through their skills.

Farming crops can fail and over reliance is a dangerous prospect for an entire nation to face as history would reflect.   In the example I gave Malaysia is exporting its labor and Japan has a requirement to import that skilled labor quite often as they famously have a skewed demographic and falling working population.   Not everyone knows this is also true of even China who will suffer consequences of less workers every year, this will alter their economy.

agriculture plays it own unique role in improving the growth of a nation and oil has it own function also. Regardless of how rich a nation is in terms of the available oil that's in their desposition, you can't rely only on oil. Producing local agricultural product helps a lot in ensuring that a nation is dependent on themselves and less on others.

If your soil isn't all that fertile to support agro produce, with your oil it's easy to relate with other nation and get some of thier resources from the money you get from the sales of the crude oil. Every resource that a nation has is as important as the other and they are necessary for the effective working and harnessing of the full economic potential of a nation.

 They are some countries that solely depends on their agricultural produce for international trades, Malaysia is one country, they built their country with the exportation of palm fruits and other resources too, In as much as oil is seen as a bigger money compared to the agricultural production, It still serve its purpose and is still very important to the world. Agricultural Economics is important because it uses the principles of Economics to understand and solve the problems of agriculture sector. Its micro theories provide answer to questions of farmers like what to produce, how to produce and how much to produce. It tells him about farm planning and budgeting and provide optimal combinations of farming and allied activities to maximize his profits. The macro aspect of Agriculture Economics is important to understand growth and development related aspects, econometric models for policy analysis, national and international trade and natural resource economics. It is a subject related to your day to day news, it makes you understand that most of the political decisions have hidden economic agendas at its base. it makes you aware why people are doing what they are doing. In short it makes you understand life.
   Oil is not about to disappear and there is plenty of it for centuries to come. I don’t think oil production will collapse anytime soon, and by the time it does I think we’ll have new sources of energy. If it would collapse the effect on agriculture would be devastating, at least in the U.S. and other Western nations. Everything from fertilizer, to pesticides, to equipment needs petroleum to exist, and without them production would plummet. And if we they should cease to farm, they will be starvation in the globe. I think every industry is interdependent to each other, each has their importance and effects too.

There are many that depend on agriculture for their food or their economy.  For example, if 95% of people in Bangladesh work and they are dependent on agriculture because if they do not work or they do not collect food, they will reduce their food dependence and they will die for food.  If you look in Bangladesh, there is no such thing, but their economy is fairly good depending on the economy, not only on the economy, but on the workers of our factories in Bangladesh.  But in that case if you notice Qatar Qatar but they've come a long way in developing their oil fields because they've exploited them and they've been so dependent on oil they've gone so far that they've used them and exported all over the world.  In that case, the economy of Bangladesh, which is mostly dependent on mining or any other means, like agriculture, as well as oil and agriculture in Qatar, will need two economies.

It is true that these two things will certainly be able to provide income for every country that can manage them well and for countries that can manage these two things it will certainly make them a prosperous country and people will be able to live their lives without having problems in the economic sector. It is very important to be able to manage these two things in order to run a good economic system so that people do not have problems in terms of their economy.

Currently, Japan is one of the best agricultural countries in the world, they have used advanced technological tools to process their agricultural land, Japan also has high creativity, but they do not have large areas of land, unlike Indonesia, the land area is not comparable to Other agricultural production countries will, however, Indonesia is very far behind in the way of agricultural processing so that a lot of empty land is just left like that. Currently, with advances in technology, the country can boost the people's economy through agriculture so that they don't have to work in industry and mining. What is important when focusing on agriculture is willingness. good water or irrigation

Agriculture provides food to people whereas oil is a commodity that we need so in this case agriculture is more important than oil.

For me there is no difference or distinction between oil and agriculture. Just as oil provides money to a country, agriculture also provides money to a country, so we have no reason to differentiate between the two. There are different types of edible oils that are produced through agriculture around the world. These edible oil producing countries meet the demand of oil in their country and export it to other countries as a result of which they earn remittances from abroad.

I fully agree with your argument that there is no justification for making a distinction between oil and agriculture in the current context. In today's competitive and progressive world market oil and agricultural products are interrelated like tea and sugar.
According to the results of the co-integration tests and Granger's causality tests there is no causal relationship between world oil prices and agricultural products. However their experimental analysis shows that the correlation between agricultural products and world oil prices is between 1% and 5%.
Now it is said that there is a slight price difference and whether or not there is without oil it is almost impossible to produce and market that product with the current modern agricultural technology or the production cannot be increased in any way.

Oil is a commodity, but Food is a basic necessity.

Countries like China and Thailand who were once purely agricultural countries 10-15 years ago were now massive powerhouses who are able to carry the whole world's economy and produce section under their shoulders. Why? Food export at the start and then diversifying your ventures later on. China did that in the past, once they got the proper channels taken care of they switched to factory work and production, eventually they also took the field of the Internet of Things and made their very own versions of websites that are available outside their country anyway to further seclude the country within this bubble that they have formed. Albeit it eventually backed fire against them, the whole ordeal made them fucking rich and had it not been for the mishaps of their massive tycoons they would've remained in their seat of power these years.

On the other hand Oil is what made the Middle East exceptionally rich and martially powerful all these years, I mean that's why the US became suckups to the Arabs all these decades. But we're slowly shifting towards renewable sources of production, and last I checked people will still need to eat food for the next hundred or thousand years onwards. So yeah, Agriculture all the way for me. Both solve a problem and both are heavily required in our current setting, but food will remain a need of the people and the planet forever, Oil will not.

Both are equally important for the continuity of human life, mutually necessary and inseparable. It is clear that you really have the benefits that are needed now and in the future.
But petroleum oil will always have limits and will be used up. Who knows when, but it will definitely happen. Apart from that, the effects of its use are very polluting and not good. That's why we need a replacement that is environmentally friendly and alternatives can be found. However, agriculture will always be needed throughout time and cannot possibly be replaced because the necessities of life must remain available to humans.
