Difference between the primary and secondary sectors:
Primary sector |
Secondary sector |
The primary sector deals with the utilisation of natural resources such as mining, fishing, cultivation etc. |
The secondary sector uses the products of the primary sector as raw materials for their production. |
This sector is also called the agriculture and related sector as most of the natural products are obtained from agriculture, dairy, fishing and forestry. |
As manufacturing and processing of raw materials takes place in this sector, this sector is also known as the industrial sector. |
These products form the base for the secondary sector. |
The finished products of this sector directly reach the consumers. |
