Detailed Solution

The primary sector is also known as the agricultural sector. Activities that directly undertake the use of natural resources are considered part of the primary sector. The products obtained by these activities provide a base for further production processes. Generally, these activities mainly lie in the domain of agriculture. For example, plant-based fibres, milk, poultry farming, food crops, etc. For this reason, the primary sector is also known as the agricultural sector of the economy. In India, most of the primary activities are centred around agriculture and are dependent on the environment. It also occupies the maximum of the workable population in the economy; hence the primary/agriculture sector plays a significant role in the economy.
