[KN] >> [APP] >> [AN]

[Areeba Arshad]

[KN] The primary sector involves extracting raw materials such as farming, mining, or fishing, whereas the secondary sector uses these raw materials to manufacture finished goods.
[APP] For example, mining iron ore is a primary activity, while using that iron ore to produce steel cars is a secondary activity.
[AN] The primary sector provides essential raw materials, which are then processed by the secondary sector to add value, resulting to finished goods that can be sold to consumers or businesses.

[hassanalizafar]

[KN] Primary sector is about extracting natural resources while secondary sector is about turning those resources into manufactured goods.
[APP] For instance,iron ore is mined in the primary sector and then used to make steel cars in the secondary sector.
[AN] This means secondary sector adds value by transforming into it finished higher value products which then creates jobs in manufacturing sector leading to finished goods being sold at higher prices and boosting revenue and economic growth.

[Aarib Saad]

(KN)The primary sector extracts natural resources and raw materials from the earth, where as the secondary sector manufactures finished goods using those natural resources.
(APP)For instance, a farm (primary sector) will provide leather and wool, which a shoe manufacturer (secondary sector) will use to produce it's products.
(AN)Thus, both the sectors will play a role in increasing the output of the economy, which will lead to a decrease in inflation in the country due to more supply and thus increase people's purchasing power, leading to an improvement in people's living standards.

[Fatima ibtehaj]

[KN]The primary sector provides raw materials from nature whereas the secondary sector manufactures those raw materials into finished products.
[APP]For example, a manufacturer takes wood from trees in order to make a wooden chair and so that will be included in the primary sector and how the factory produces that chair will be included in the secondary sector.
[AN]This helps to ensure that everything is done in a balanced way leading towards less time wasted and efficient production hence higher output for an economy.

[Mamoona Hussain]

KN: They operate with different factors of production.
APP: For instance, the primary sector uses land and labour to extract natural resources like timber whereas the secondary sector uses labour and capital to convert those raw materials (timber) into finished or semi-finished goods like furniture.
AN: Through this, they add value to the products, for which they can charge higher prices from the customers, enabling them to earn more revenue and profit margins, which can later be reinvested for expansion. However, this can be difficult for the primary sector as their products mostly don't have added value.

[Arham Qadri]

[KN] Primary sector is the sector in which resources are extracted from land while secondary sector involves conversion of raw material to finished products
[APP] iron ore is mined in the primary sector and then used to make steel cars in the secondary sector
[AN] Hence both sectors will play a role in increasing the output of economy as inflation will decrease and will lead to good standard of living of people.

[UPDATED]

[Mustafa Khan]

KN] In primary sector resources are extracted from land whereas secondary sector turns those resources into a finished product.
APP]for instance wood is taken from trees in order to make furniture such as dinning tables and chairs etc
AN]This transformation adds value to the product, because of which it can be sold at higher prices allowing the business to meet its revenue goals with fewer sales.

[tanzeelrehman]

[KN]= Primary sector involves the extraction of raw materials, whereas secondary sector involves the manufacturing and processing of that raw materials into semi finished or finished goods
[APP}= F.e extracting crude oil from ground is primary activity, whereas processing that crude oil into plastics or petrol is secondary activity.
[AN+]= The secondary sector adds value to the raw materials. It create job opportunies for the many people. Secondar products can also be exported to other countries, which will improve the countries balance of trade and overall economic growth.

[Shuraim Arif]

(KN) Primary sector involves extracting raw materials, whereas secondary sector involves the production of a product using the raw materials extracted.
(APP) For example, the primary sector may cut down trees in order to collect the wood and then sell this to a furniture manufacturing business. The furniture manufacturing business would then use that wood to manufacture a chair. This manufacturing is part of the secondary industry.
(AN) The manufactured chair may then be sold to different businesses in the tertiary sector. These businesses would sell them to customers for a higher price.

[sarah_naeem]

[KN]: Primary sectors are basically extraction of natural resources while secondary sectors use those natural resources to convert them into finished products.
[APP]: For example, a farmer grows wheat (primary sector) which can be processed by the factories and converted into a basic necessity such as bread (secondary sector).
[AN]: Thus, this shows how important both the sectors are in the production process as the secondary sector depends on the resources that the primary sector provides and also adds value to the finished product allowing it to be sold at higher prices which also leads to economic growth.

[shamaim shakeel]

K: The primary sector is about getting natural resources, while the secondary sector is about making products from them.
App: For example, farmers grow wheat (primary), and factories use it to make bread (secondary).
AN (3 bounces): The primary sector provides raw materials, the secondary sector adds value, and together they form different stages of the production process.

[Subhan Zafar]

{KN}Primary sector industry is extraction and collection of natural resources.Secondary sector is processing and manufacturing raw material into finished goods.
{APP}For instance, a mining company extracts iron ore from the ground. This is part of the primary sector. A steel factory then uses that iron ore to manufacture steel sheets, which is part of the secondary sector.
{AN}The difference matters because the secondary sector depends on the primary sector for its inputs. If iron ore production falls due to resource depletion or rising extraction costs, the steel manufacturer will face higher costs or shortages of raw materials. This could reduce output, raise prices for consumers, and potentially harm industries further along the chain, such as car manufacturers that rely on steel.

[Muaz Aamir]

KN: The primary sector is involved in extracting natural resources, while the secondary sector uses those resources to make goods.
AP: For instance, farming produces crops in the primary sector, while a food factory processes those crops into packaged meals in the secondary sector.
AN: This shows the primary sector focuses on raw material supply, the secondary sector focuses on manufacturing, and both link together in the chain of production.

[Abdullah Baig]

Kn
The primary sector involves the extraction of raw materials while the secondary sector is focused on manufacturing goods from those materials
App
For example mining companies extract iron ore from the ground.This ore can then be transported to factories in the secondary sector where it is processed into steel which is then used to manufacture products such as cars which can then be sold at a higher price due to added value for higher profits
An
This shows that the two sectors are dependant on each other because without extraction manufacturing cannot take place and without manufacturing the raw materials can't be sold at a higher price for higher revenue
