Primary sector: economic domain that involves the extraction of natural resources necessary for other sectors.
Natural resources: elements from nature that are exploited for economic use, essential for producing raw materials.
Raw materials: basic substances such as food, wood, and minerals that are obtained from natural resources and serve as the foundation for further processing.
Agriculture: activity within the primary sector focused on cultivating land and raising animals for food and other products.
Fishing: activity involving the capture of aquatic organisms from bodies of water for consumption or sale.
Mining: activity dedicated to extracting minerals and other geological materials from the earth.
The primary sector exploits natural resources that are vital for the functioning of other sectors. It provides fundamental raw materials like food, wood, and minerals. Activities included are agriculture, fishing, livestock farming, forestry, and mining. Without the primary sector, there would be no basic resources such as food, timber, or minerals to support subsequent economic activities.
