Question: Agriculture related activities comes under
Options:
Primary sector
Secondary sector
Tertiary sector
Quaternary sector
Economic activities are grouped into three categories.
🛠️ Primary sector:
It forms the base for all other products that we subsequently make.
Since most of the natural products we get are from agriculture, dairy, fishing, and forestry.
This sector is also called agriculture and related sectors.
🏭 Secondary sector:
It is the next step after the primary.
The product is not produced by nature but has to be made, and therefore some process of manufacturing is essential.
This could be in a factory, a workshop, or at home.
For example, using cotton fibre from the plant.
Since this sector gradually became associated with the different kinds of industries that came up, it is also called the industrial sector.
🚚 Tertiary sector:
These are activities that help in the development of the primary and secondary sectors.
These activities, by themselves, do not produce goods but they are an aid or support for the production process.
For example, goods that are produced in the primary or secondary sector would need to be transported by trucks or trains and then sold in wholesale and retail shops.
Since these activities generate services rather than goods, the tertiary sector is also called the service sector.
