On the basis of the UNCTAD / WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION INTERNATIONAL TRADE CENTER classification using the SITC rev 2 codes, we distinguish the following five main groups of sectors at the 3-digit level:
| Product group A: primary products (83 sectors) |
| Product group B: natural-resource intensive products (21 sectors) |
| Product group C: unskilled-labour intensive products (26 sectors) |
| Product group D: technology intensive products (62 sectors) |
| Product
group E: human-capital intensive products (43 sectors)
|
| Sectors not classified according to intensity (5 sectors) |
