Distinguish between 'primary' and 'secondary' sectors.

Differentiate between primary and secondary sectors of the economy.

Answer 1

The primary sector, or agricultural sector, constitutes the backbone of our economy and the major source of employment. The primary activity is the production or extraction of natural resources. It involves the cultivation of crops, fruits, vegetables, and livestock, all of which are required for a living. The secondary sector involves using natural goods and transforming them into something more valuable through manufacturing.
