KN: The primary sector provides raw materials while the secondary sector turns them into finished products.
APP: For eg, In the primary sector a farmer grows tomatoes on his land asw as harvests them nd sells them to a food factory. Given to the secondary sector the factory then processes the tomatoes, processes them into bottles of ketchup to sell them as finishd prod in supermarkets .
AN: This link is important because without the primary sector the factory would have no inputs which leads to a smooth supply chain from farm to factory nd it creates jobs and income in both sectors as well as income.Helps increase exports.

KN: Primary sector gives materials that the Secondary sector uses to create its own products.
APP: Primary sector gives wood or fabric that is then processed by secondary sector business to create a sofa
AN: Hence the primary sector is providing raw materials without which the secondary sector cannot function at all, wheras the secondary sector is giving the primary sector a clientele as without them it is nearly impossible in most cases to sell the raw materials directly to the public therefore they have a link.

(KN) The secondary and primary sectors are connected in that the primary sector supplies the raw materials, which are processed by the secondary sector into finished products.
(APP) For instance, tomato farmers produce tomatoes that are used to supply factories that manufacture ketchup.
(AN) This connection matters because factories cannot make ketchup without tomatoes, shortages would drive up production costs, and lower supply could result in customer demand not being met.

KN: The primary and secondary sectors link because manufacturers need raw inputs from primary sectro.

APP: for e.g. wood from forests is processed by a furniture factory to make chairs and tables.

AN: raw wood/timbre is the starting input for factory production. If logs become scarce or expensive the factory’s output and prices are affected. So stability in primary supply is crucial for secondary sector.

KN: A primary sector business provides raw materials that are needed by secondary sector businesses to produce goods.

APP: For example, a farmer grows tomatoes, which are then bought by a factory. The factory processes the tomatoes into ketchup, which can be sold to consumers.

AN: This link shows how the primary sector supports the secondary sector by supplying essential inputs, helps create jobs in manufacturing, and adds value to raw materials by turning them into finished products.

[KN]:The primary and secondary sectors are linked because the secondary sector relies on raw materials produced by the primary sector.[APP]:For example, farmers (primary sector) grow cotton, which is then used by textile factories (secondary sector) to manufacture clothes.[AN+]:This shows that without the primary sector supplying raw materials, the secondary sector would not be able to operate, meaning both sectors are interdependent in the chain of production

KN: The primary and secondary sectors and are closely linked because the secondary sector depends on raw materials from the primary sector to make goods.
APP: E.g a steel factory, which is a secondary sector, needs iron ore from mining companies, which is a primary sector, to produce metal for cars or buildings.
AN: Without the primary sector providing materials, the secondary sector wouldn't be able to manufacture products, stopping production and trade.

KN:The primary sector extracts raw materials and the secondary sector uses these materials to make finished goods
APP:For example, farmers in the primary sector produce cotton, which is then sent to factories in the secondary sector. These factories use the cotton to manufacture clothes that can be sold in the market.
This shows that the secondary sector depends on the primary sector for raw materials and together they create value by turning natural resources into useful products.

same answer as question 5
[KN] The primary sector is about collecting natural resources, while the secondary sector focuses on turning those resources into finished products.
[APP] For example, farmers in the primary sector grow wheat, and factories in the secondary sector use that wheat to make bread, cakes, and other food items.
AN] This shows that both sectors depend on each other ,one provides the materials, and the other makes useful products.

kn] primary sector provides raw material to secondary sector for further furnishing
app] for exp primary sector provide iron to steel mill for steel making
an] the link between them is clear and necesarly as if primary sector doesnt provide raw material to secondary then they will be shutdown at all the main course for secondary sector is raw material which they use in for processing without it there is no work for them to do
