Cevap
Commerce encompasses both trade (the buying and selling of goods) and aids to trade (transport, warehousing, insurance, banking, communication, and advertising) that facilitate the transfer of goods from producers to final consumers.
Commerce comprises two main branches: trade (buying and selling) and aids/auxiliaries to trade (transportation, warehousing, insurance, banking, advertising, and communication). Therefore, defining commerce as the combination of buying and selling palm oil alongside the supportive services that distribute it from producer to consumers accurately captures its true scope.
