What to Focus On
- There are 3 main sectors of the economy.
- Economic activities are grouped into primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors.
- The three sectors are interdependent.
- Primary sector depends directly on natural resources.
- It is also called the agricultural and related sector.
- Its output is called primary goods or natural products.
- Secondary sector is also called the manufacturing sector.
- It converts raw materials into finished goods.
- It is also known as the industrial sector.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The primary sector means the first sector in importance, so it is always the biggest part of the economy.
The tertiary sector produces goods like the other two sectors.
Weaving, tailoring, pottery, and toy making are primary sector activities because they use raw materials from farms or nature.
