[KN] The primary sector is important for a manufacturing business because it provides the raw materials needed for production.
[APP] For example, fishing supplies the fish that a food processing factory needs in order to produce packaged seafood products.
[AN] Without the primary sector, the factory would have nothing to manufacture, which would stop production altogether. This would not only reduce output but also mean the business could not meet customer demand. In the long run, this could lead to a loss of revenue and customers switching to competitors who do have access to the necessary raw materials.

(KN) primary sector produces items needed for secondary sector to work
(APP) for example wheat to make bread
(AN)without wheat, bread making would be impossible cause delay in meeting peoples demand, eventually to keep up with the demands they would have to import, and as imported goods are expensive customers will have to buy it either way as bread is a need, leading to higher revenue for the business.

[KN]it provides the raw materials needed for production.
[APP]For instance, fishing supplies the fish that a food processing factory turns into canned products.
[AN]Without this supply, canned product making would be impossible cause delay in meeting peoples demand eventually to keep up with the demands they would have to importand as imported goods are expensive customers will have to buy it either way as it is a need, leading to higher revenue for the business.

KN: primary sector is important for a manufacturing business as it provides raw material for the business.
APP: For example Primary sector like fishing provides fish to the industries which are then processed in a manufacturing company and turned into canned products and used for domestic and export puposes. If the primary sector provides more fish the export can be increased.
AN: This Means the growth and stability of the Manufacturing company depends on the primary sector, as if the primary sector provides less fish to the manufacturing company this can result in ruined reputation, declining its revenue and hence decreasing profitaiblity.

[KN] The primary sector provides raw materials.
[APP] For Instance, a shortage of businesses in the primary sector can lead to supply shortages for secondary sector firms, resulting in slower production.
[AN] To compensate for shortages, secondary industries may have to import, leading to higher costs, reduced sales, and lower profits.

[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] It is important for a manufacturing business as it provides raw materials to the bussiness
[APP] A furniture manufacturing business relies on the wood which is taken from primary sector to produce its products
[AN] Thus if the supply of wood is disrupted this will effect the manufacturing business as the manufacturer may face raw material shortages leading to diseconomies of scale which can eventually effect the profits of the business.

(KN)Because the primary sector provides resources to the manufacturing businesses for production.
(APP)For instance, a business that produces frozen foods will be reliant on farmers in the primary sector to provide meat to the business so that it can produce it's products, so it will be important for the business to keep good relations with it's suppliers.
(AN)This will then mean that the business will receive discounts from suppliers, allowing business to save costs, which in turn can allow it to reduce prices, thus both selling and purchasing economies of scale can be achieved.

(KN) The primary sector is very important to a manufacturing business as it provides the business with raw materials.
(APP) For example, cocoa beans are necessary for a chocolate manufacturing business, as without cocoa beans, the company won't be able to make chocolates.
(AN) This would lead to demands of customers not being fulfilled and the business would eventually have to import cocoa beans to overcome customers' pressure of buying from a competitive business.

[KN]It provides the raw materials needed for production.
[APP]For example a car manufacturing business requires materials like metal for parts like wheels which would come from mining which is why the primary sector is important.
[AN]This leads towards an a rise in quality as natural/fresh resources are used hence leading towards an increase in brand image and number of consumer base.

[Uqbah hadeed kayani]

[kn] it is important as it provides the business with resources [app] for example a furniture making business may be provided with wood from the primary sector [an] Without a strong primary sector, production costs rise due to import dependence, supply chains become unstable, and profit margins fall since materials are harder and more expensive to source.

KN= primary sector is very important for a manufacturing business as it provides with the raw materials without it manufacturing can not be possible
APP= For example, a textile industry in pakistan depends on the cotton produced by the farmers
AN= Without this supply, the textile industry would have no inputs which means production would stop leading to lost sales and eventually a decline in competition with other businesses. Therefore, raw materials from the primary sector is essential as it ensures long-term sustainable growth for many industries.

KN: Primary sector is important as it provides raw materials for the manufacturing business.
APP: For instance, it provides timber to a furniture manifacturer.
AN: If timber is not provided to the furniture manufacturer on time, then the furniture production would halt. Due to this the manufacturer would not be able to fulfil orders in time or take any at all, because of which he will loose customers leading to lesser sales and revenue earned, thus, the profit margins will decrease too. Hence, this will threaten the long term survival of the business.

[UPDATED]
[KN] Because it provides raw materials needed for production.
[APP] For instance, wood/timber is a raw material needed to manufacture wooden chairs
[AN] This means primary sector is important for manufacturing because without it there would be no secondary or territory sector so there would not be any manufacturing which would result in long term survival for business
