The quality of grass depends upon climate. In cool climates, soft and juicy grass grows, so such area has developed pastoral activities and trade of animal products. 

For example, Australia and New Zealand have become some of the leading exporters of butter, cheese, condensed milk powder, mutton, etc.

Climate also affects the growth and type of forest in the country. Due to a cool climate in Canada, Russia, Scandinavian countries, the coniferous forest grows which provides softwood; it has great demand in the world market. Therefore, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia are leading exporters of wood.

In some countries, there is a specialization of certain goods due to specific climates. 

For example, in snow-covered areas there is more production of woolen goods; therefore, there is more export trade of woolen goods from the Jammu and Kashmir states of India.

The quality of population also affects trade. More resourceful, enthusiastic and skilled people in the country, more innovative production and trade in the country.

In many countries, skills of a person is preserved from generation to generation. Hence, they are specialised in certain products. Therefore, they develop trade of such goods. 

For example, carpets in Iran, woollen goods of Jammu and Kashmir, Chinese porcelain, etc.

The standard of living also affects trade. In some countries population is less but due to high standard of living, there is more demand for expensive goods. So, import trade is developed there.
