depending on the size and resources of the area:
1. Chemical production
2. Metal refining/production
3. Salt mining
4. Fuel production
5. Medicine production
6. Arms manufacture
7. Coffee/Tea substitute
8. Machinery production
9. Agricultural cash crops
10. Vehicle production
obviously trade would be important for any of these and some of these are specifically for supporting trade. you can even bypass some of these if you have neighbors willing to trade some of their production for something you have a better supply of.
