Summary/Abstract: This work is a direct continuation of a previous work by the authors that dealt with construction of new coefficients of concentration by using Minkowski’s metric ρp(1 ≤ p ≤ ∞). The following work gives examples of applications of those metrics in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting sectors. It also studies the pattern of changes of concentration of added value created in those sectors by comparisons with other sectors.
