What to Focus On

  • Tertiary activities belong to the service sector.
  • They provide services, not tangible goods.
  • Their output is measured indirectly through wages and salaries.
  • Trade is buying and selling of items produced elsewhere.
  • Trading centres are the places where trade occurs.
  • Rural marketing centres serve nearby settlements and are quasi-urban.
  • Retail trading sells goods directly to consumers.
  • Non-store retail trading uses many delivery and order methods.
  • Consumer cooperatives were the first large-scale retail innovation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Tertiary activities mean only trade and nothing else.

Tertiary activities are the same as secondary activities because both involve work and earning.

Rural marketing centres and periodic markets mean the same thing.

Memory Tips
