Industry of District 10
‘The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide’ describes District 10 as:
The gentle lowing of cattle is the first thing a visitor to District 10 hears. This region raises strong, healthy livestock, which becomes the meat that helps us raise strong, healthy children of Panem.
The primary industry of District 10 is rearing livestock. Thus, the entire district mostly consists of grassland and farmhouses where livestock are bred and raised.
The entire district participated in this industry, including adolescents, who, instead of attending schools, worked in the slaughterhouses. This gave District 10 tributes a huge physical advantage in the arena, as children in other districts, such as District 12, were required to attend school until the age of 18.
The slaughterhouses of District 10 were used to butcher hogs and cattle. The district was able to maintain its genetic diversity in herds of cattle by using long-frozen cow embryos for implantation. Dalton, a citizen of District 10, was responsible for this project. He escapes to District 13 at some unknown point before the trilogy and helps the district maintain its population. This was extremely important to the rebel cause as without this knowledge; the rebels might have died out from a pox epidemic that left their population unsustainable.
Most of the meat produced in District 10 was likely exported to the Capitol. Some of the Career Districts might have also received meat from District 10. Poorer districts such as Districts 11 and 12 did not receive any livestock meat and were, therefore, forced to sign up for tessera. The residents of District 10 were no exception, as they were not allowed to eat the meat they reared. Thus, District 10 is one of the districts with the most number of tessera claimed in Panem.
