[KN] The primary sector plays the first role in the chain of production by providing the raw materials needed for manufacturing.
[APP] For example, a forestry business cuts down trees and supplies the wood required to make a wooden chair.
[AN] This is essential because without the raw material, the secondary sector can not begin the production process. It ensures manufacturers have the basic resources to add value and turn them into finished goods. In this way, the primary sector acts as the foundation of the entire chain of production.

(KN)primary sector provides the item need in production for secondary sector
(APP)trees being cut down and sent to a factory .
(AN)if secondary sector not recive wood from primary sectory there production will be halted, being undable to produce chair, meaning tertiary sector would not have anything to sell, furthermore if primary sector provides poor quality wood to secondary sector they will produce poor quality chairs making them less durable, destroying their reputation leading to less demand and hence lowering revenue.

KN: The primary sector is responsible for obtaining raw materials from nature.
AP: For a wooden chair, this means cutting down trees and turning them into timber.
AN:This is necessary because the secondary sector needs the wood to manufacture the chair.
AN+ :If the primary sector cannot supply enough wood, it will increase costs and reduce the availability of chairs further down the chain.

[KN] The primary sector is the first stage of the chain of production as it provides the raw materials needed for manufacturing.
[APP] For instance, a forestry business cuts down trees to supply wood.
[AN] This wood is then sent to the secondary sector where it is processed into furniture parts which are assembled into finished chairs hence are distributed to retailers which then sell them to consumers which creates income for all three sectors.

(KN)Primary sector will extract natural resources (raw materials) for the production of the chairs.
(APP)For instance, a wood cutting/forestry business will provide the wood which will then be later carved by the manufacturer into a chair, or a farmer will provide cotton and wool for the bedding of the chairs.
(AN)This allowing the manufacturer to be able to provide a consistent supply of chairs because of the primary sector, leading to selling economies of scale, boosting sales revenue.

[KN]This sector helps to provide the raw materials.
[APP]I.E the wood used to make the chairs is taken from trees which are grown by the forestry industry.
[AN]This hence leads towards a rise in pollution as trees will be cut down which can have a negative impact on consumers as they may not like the idea of trees being cut down which can reduce consumer loyalty and damadge brand image.

KN=The primary sector is the first stage in the chain of production. It involves the extraction of natural resources, which are then turned into finished products
APP= For example, in making a wooden chair, trees are cut down from the forests, from which we get wood needed for furniture production.
AN= primary sector provides the essential raw material (wood) without which the manufacturer cannot begin chair production. By getting local wood,costs can be reduced, as the business does not have to rely on expensive imports. Having a local reliable supply of wood allows the manufacturer to plan ahead and achieve sustainable growth by expanding the production.

KN: The primary sector plays the first stage of providing the raw materials to the secondary/manufacturing sector.
APP: For instance, providing the timber to manufacture chairs.
AN: If the primary sector dies not provide the timber or if it is not of good quality then the production of chairs will halt or the chair will be cheap due to which the retailers would not be able to charge more added values, leading to a fall in demand and, therefore, a collapse in the overall market value as well.

(KN) The primary sector provides raw materials such as wood so that the wooden chair can be produced.
(APP) For example, a forestry business may cut down trees in order to gather wood. This wood would then be sold to a furniture manufacturing business, which would then complete the task of completing the manufacturing process of the chair by the wood supplied.
(AN) The manufactured chair would then be sold to businesses in the tertiary sector that are responsible for selling such type of furniture.

{KN}For a wooden chair forestry activities such as cutting down trees.
{APP}For a wooden chair, forestry activities such as cutting down trees provide the raw timber needed for furniture makers.
{AN}By supplying timber, the primary sector enables manufacturers in the secondary sector to design and construct the chair. Without this stage, the production chain would break down, as there would be no material to process. This shows how the primary sector is essential in creating value further along the chain: once the raw wood is harvested, it can be transformed into a finished chair, sold in shops, and eventually generate income for businesses in the tertiary sector.

[KN]: Primary sector is the first stage in the chain of production as it provides the raw materials needed for production.
[APP]: For instance, for a wooden chair to be made a forestry business cuts down trees to provide wood. the wood is then supplied to secondary sectors for the production of a wooden chair and then later to tertiary sectors for the wooden chair to be sold.
[AN]: This shows that the primary sector plays a vital role in the chain of production as the secondary sector as well as the tertiary sector depends on its resources and no finished goods can be made without its raw materials this leads to the product being made quicker, less time wasted as all sectors work together creating efficient product that can be sold at higher prices.

K: The primary sector provides the raw materials needed for the chair, such as cutting down trees for wood.
App: For example, forestry workers harvest timber that factories use to make furniture.
AN The primary sector gives timber, which lets the secondary sector make chairs. Without this step, the process would stop because there would be no wood to use. This shows the primary sector is important, as the wood can be made into a chair, sold in shops, and help businesses in the tertiary sector earn money.

KN: The primary sector provides raw materials needed for production.
AP: For example, timber is harvested from trees to make a wooden chair.
AN: This supplies the basic materials, allows the secondary sector to manufacture the chair, and starts the chain of production that eventually delivers the finished product to consumers.

[KN] The primary sector provides the raw materials which is the first stage of production.
[APP] For example, a forestry business cuts down trees to supply the wood(raw material) for making a wooden chair.
[AN] This allows manufacturers to start production, create employment opportunities in later stages of the chain, and ensures that the wood can be transformed into the final wooden chair.
