resource-rich
Full of materials
Resource-rich describes places abundant in valuable natural materials—oil, minerals, timber, fertile land.
The term appears frequently in economic and geopolitical contexts: resource-rich nations in Africa, resource-rich regions attracting foreign investment.
The phrase often carries an implicit irony, since resource-rich countries sometimes suffer from corruption and underdevelopment despite their wealth.
