Re: 01 Explain reason why the primary sector is important for a manufacturing business.
{KN}It facilitates with the raw material that is required for production.
{APP}example the wood required to make paper is provided by primary sector business.
{AN}If there is no supply of wood by the primary sector the production of papaer would stop this would lead to dec in stedy sales made by the business selling paper which would lead to dec in their revenue.

Re: 01 Explain reason why the primary sector is important for a manufacturing business.
KN: primary sector is essential for manufacturing because they provide raw materials.
APP: For example, A car manufacturer needs steel from mining.
AN: without primary sector manufacturers would not have resources to produce goods.This means production would stop.

Re: 01 Explain reason why the primary sector is important for a manufacturing business.
[KN]: Primary sector is important as it provides raw materials to the manufacturing business.
[APP]: For example, a farmer grows wheat which is later processed and converted into a bread by the manufacturing business.
[AN]: Without the raw materials, the factory would have no inputs which means there would be no production of product leading to lost sales and since bread is a basic necessity this would lead to customers demands not being fulfilled making them buy goods from competitive business hence, this will threaten the long term survival of the business

Re: 01 Explain reason why the primary sector is important for a manufacturing business.
[KN] The primary sector is important because it provides the raw materials that manufacturing businesses need for production. [AP] For example, a furniture manufacturer depends on timber from forestry to make tables and chairs. [AN] If the supply of raw materials is reliable, production can continue without delays. This helps keep costs low, since stable raw material prices prevent rising expenses. Lower costs allow the manufacturer to set competitive prices, increasing sales and long-term profitability

Re: 01 Explain reason why the primary sector is important for a manufacturing business.
Knowledge (K): Without resources like wood, cotton, or metal, factories cannot produce goods.
Application (App): For example, a car manufacturer needs steel from mining and rubber from farming to make vehicles.
Analysis (Bouncer 1): This means the quality and supply of primary goods affect how much a factory can produce.
Analysis (Bouncer 2): If raw materials are cheap and reliable, the business can lower costs and make more profit.
Analysis (Bouncer 3): But if the primary sector struggles, manufacturing may slow down or rely on imports, raising costs.

Re: 01 Explain reason why the primary sector is important for a manufacturing business.
[kn] A primary business provides raw materials for a manufacturer.
[app] for instance, a cotton extractor providing to a clothing manufacturer.
[an+] this can result in good quality for the clothing manufacture, continuous production and ability to meet customer demand.

[KN] The primary sector is important because it provides the raw materials needed for production.
[APP] For example, fishing supplies fish to a food processing factory.
[AN] So Without these raw materials, the manufacturing business cannot produce its goods or have a product by which it cannot operate or make profits.

(App)For instance, forestry supplies timber to furniture manufacturers.
This ensures the business has a consistent input to maintain continuous production without interruptions.as a result, the business can achieve economies of scale by producing in larger quantities
(an)Furthermore, a secure supply of raw materials can give the business greater bargaining power with retailers, as they are able to guarantee consistent stock

(APP) For eg, fishing suppliers rely onto a food processing factory so that it can produce canned fish products.
(AN)thus they would have no input materials to manufacture goods nd would lead to production cost to rise and bus may shut down or face loss due to lack of supply.

[KN]The primary sector is important for a manufacturing business because it provides the essential raw materials needed for production.
[APP]For example, a furniture manufacturer relies on timber from forestry. A reliable supply of timber ensures continuous production without delays. It also helps the business control production costs if raw material prices remain stable. Additionally, consistent quality of timber improves the final product’s standard, which supports brand reputation.
[AN]However, if the supply of timber is disrupted by shortages, environmental restrictions, or rising extraction costs, the manufacturer may face higher costs of production. This could lead to reduced profit margins or force the business to increase prices, potentially making it less competitive compared to rivals with cheaper or more sustainable sources.

Re: 01 Explain reason why the primary sector is important for a manufacturing business.
KN: The primary sector provides raw materials needed for production.
AP: For example, mining supplies metals that car manufacturers need.
AN: This is important because without raw materials factories cannot operate, the cost and quality of inputs affect the final product, and steady supply from the primary sector helps manufacturing run smoothly.

Re: 01 Explain reason why the primary sector is important for a manufacturing business.
[KN]The primary sector provides raw materials such as wood, minerals etc which are later on manufactured into goods.
[APP]For example, a furniture manufacturing business depends on wood supplied by the forestry sector.
[AN]Without these resources from the primary sector, the manufacturer would not have the raw materials to produce its goods, resulting into delay in the production, increase cost from sourcing alternatives and all of this will reduce the efficiency and competitiveness.

Re: 01 Explain reason why the primary sector is important for a manufacturing business.
[KN]Primary sector provides raw materials that are used in the production process of a manufacturing business
[APP]For instance manufacturing businesses i.e furniture company's require raw materials like wood ,paint ,leather, etc if these raw materials are not available it will become difficult for the business to produce these products
[AN]Hence with out the primary sector manufacturing businesses cannot be run efficiently which will lead to lower quality products being produced resulting in a fall in the brand image subsequently leading to a decrease in sales
