answered-by-expert Expert Answer
  • Before the establishment of factories, there was large-scale industrial production for the international market. This phase before industrialisation is known as proto-industrialisation. (Proto means original or primitive form).
  • During the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, merchants visited the countryside and villages asking farmers to produce for international markets. These merchants often provided money to these farmers.
  • Merchants and traders visited the countryside as the guilds of workers, producers and weavers were very strong in towns and had monopoly over production.
  • In the countryside, farmers readily agreed to produce for international markets. By producing for the merchants, the peasants could cultivate their own small patches of land and yet could earn some supplementary income. This allowed them to make better use of the available family resources.
  • Production and trade were controlled by merchants, with one merchant approximately employing 20–25 workers for weaving, spinning and dying the cloth.
