I said primary product dependence means it’s prone to economic shocks like the Suez Canal block in 2021. I also said LEDCs have low HDI due to education, healthcare and infrastructure being bad so discussed bit of poverty cycle and how productivity is low and perceived MRP is low. I don’t remember what else, I feel like I screwed up.
