unindustrialized
Lacking factory economy
Unindustrialized describes a place or economy that has not developed significant manufacturing or industrial production.
The term typically applies to regions or nations that remain primarily agricultural or resource-based: unindustrialized countries, unindustrialized areas lacking factory employment.
It implies an absence rather than a rejection of industrial development.
