domestic production

Local manufacturing activity

Domestic production refers to goods manufactured or services rendered within a country's own borders, as opposed to imports: The policy aimed to boost domestic production of semiconductors.

The term appears frequently in economic and trade discussions, where it often carries nationalistic overtones about self-sufficiency and reducing dependence on foreign supply chains.
