Commercial Geography

I take great pleasure in presenting this book of "Commercial Geography" to the students of F.Y.B.Com. of the University of Pune. It has been written in accordance with the revised syllabus June, 2013.

Students of Commerce should have a sound knowledge of Commercial Geography. In the strict sense, this subject deals with economic activities of trade, transport and tourism. But the very basis of these activities lies in the production of commodities. These various commodities are obtained from different economic activities like agriculture, mining, lumbering, fishing, manufacturing and several others. The purpose of this book is to provide a short account of these activities of man and their relationship with different geographical, economical, historical factors and commerce.
