What does "commercioganic" mean?

And which word can describe a place that's very active in business trade?

Thank you very much!!!

I found no stated definition. It appears to be a misspelling of commerciogenic and, judging from the following quotations, means 'of or related to characteristics caused by commercialism (the needs of business): "1968 Dr Derrick Jelliffe in Jamaica, coins the term ' commerciogenic malnutrition' to describe the impact of industry marketing practices on infant health. " Which word can describe a place that's very active in business trade -- are you looking for a noun or an adjective, Jeff?

Thank you so mcuh. Mr. M.

I am looking for an adjective. And it seems commerciogenic can't match the idea. Do you know any other term? Thank you once again.

Jeff, I cannot come up with a good, formal Latinate word for you-- all I can think of are bustling, industrious, busy, enterprising. Maybe someone else will be brighter.

Thank you Mr. M. If we can't find any proper word, what about using a phrase, for example: New York is one of the activest international-trade cities? Does it sound awkward? Thank you.

Only the activest part sounds awkward; one of the most active international trade cities is fine (no hyphen required). Or one of the most active cities in international trade.
