Introduction
Good day Students,
From the last class we had we spoke of production and the different kinds of industries and skills involved in the production process of a product. Below is a continuation of the topic on production and all the parties involved.
The economy is divided into three sectors namely, primary, secondary and tertiary sectors. Primary sector is responsible for the extraction nd cultivation of raw materials, whilst secondary sector is responsible for processing and manufacturing those raw materials into finished goods and services and the tertiary sector facilitates the flow of the goods and services from the primary and secondary sectors, and ensures that the good and services reach the customer.
