01 Explain reason why the primary sector is important for a manufacturing business.

[Uqbah hadeed kayani]

[kn] it is important as it provides a manufacturing business with raw materials [app] such as the harvesting of wood provides a furniture maker with raw materials without it the business cant produce its products
[an] due to this a business may start to loose its customers as they would go to other businesses this would lead to a loss of revenue and may lead to the business shutting down

[kn] Primary sector plays imp role as it extracts natural resources so that they can be used & processed by business for production. [app] firms engaged in oil extraction that that use it as a raw material and sell it as a refined source as petrol and diesel. [an] Without these inputs, production cannot take place, costs may rise if resources are scarce, and reliable supply ensures smooth operations.

(KN)
The primary sector provides raw material like wood, cotton, or metal.
(APP)
A manufacturing business , for example a furniture factory, needs wood to make chairs and tables.
(AN)
Without the primary sector , the business would not have the basic materials to produce goods , so production could not take place.

[KN]The primary sector performs the task of providing raw materials for the business.
[APP]For example a wooden furniture business is provided with wooden logs by the primary sector and that wood is converted into a final product like chair which has more added value.
[AN]The final product with added value allows the business to charge higher prices which leads to higher profit margins resulting in business growth.

(KN) The primary sector is important because it supplies the raw materials that manufacturers need to produce goods.
(APP) For instance, farming provides cotton that a clothing factory can turn into shirts.
(AN) Without this supply of cotton, the factory cannot begin its production, it would fail to meet orders from retailers, and this could damage its reputation and reduce profit.

[KN] The primary sector is important for a business who specializes in manufacturing because it provides raw materials needed for production.
[APP] For example, farming provides the crops that a food factory needs in order to produce packaged vegetables products.
[AN] Without the primary sector, the factory would have nothing to manufacture. This would not only reduce the stock but also mean the business could not meet customer demand. In long term, this could lead to a decrease in revenue and customers going to competitors who have access to the necessary raw materials.

[KN] It is important for a manufacturing business as it provides raw materials to them
[APP] A chocolate manufacturing business relies on cocao beans in the primary sector to produce its products
[AN] Thus if the supply of cocao is disrupted this will effect the manufacturing business as the manufacturer may face raw material shortages leading to high cost of production which can eventually effect the profits of the business.

Kn: The primary sector provides raw materials such as cotton
App: For example, a factory making furniture relies on timber from forestry, while a textile manufacturer depends on cotton from farming
Analysis: If the primary sector does not supply enough resource manufacturing costs may rise

the primary sector is important because it provides raw materials for the production. Example a furniture manufacturing business relies on timber from the forestry industry. This means that any disruption in the primary sector—such as poor harvests or mining restrictions can increase costs or halt production. Therefore, a strong and stable primary sector is essential to ensure consistent input supply, helping manufacturers maintain output and competitiveness.

The primary sector is important because it provides the raw materials needed for production. For example, fishing supplies fish to a food processing factory. Without these resources, the factory would have nothing to make and could not operate.

(KN) The basic sector is crucial to manufacturing businesses in that it provides the raw materials needed for production.
(APP) For example, coffee bean farmers provide manufacturers who roast and package them into consumable coffee.
(AN+) Without inputs like these, manufacturing stops or diminishes, thus making it even harder to meet customer needs and damaging the business's reputation.

(KN)The primary sector is important for a manufacturing business because it supplies the raw materials needed for production.(APP)For example a food processing factory relies on fish supplied by the fishing industry. These raw materials are the starting point of the manufacturing process and without them the factory would have no input to turn into finished goods.(AN)this means the factory cannot operate produce products or make any profit without the resources from the primary sector.

[Mashal Umair Niazi]

KN : It provides raw materials
APP : E.g. for a chair manufacturer, it provides the wood for the chair, the metal for the nails and machinery, even the cement for the factory etc.
AN: Hence it provides the first step in form of materials that can then be used by the manufacturing business. They process them hence adding value and converting them to a product that suits their brand image, hence being able to generate a good profit margin and therefore is required by the buisness inorder to even survive and eventually suceed.

[Haiderabbas]

KN: The primary sector is important because it supplies raw materials (like metals, timber, crops) that manufacturing firms need to make products.

APP: for e.g. a car factory needs steel from mines and rubber from plantations to build cars.
AN: Without the rubber and steel, car factory cannot manufacture. If raw materials are missing or expensive, production stops or costs rise, so manufacturers rely on a steady primary supply.
