Solution
On the basis of raw materials, industries can be classified into agro-based industries and mineral-based industries. Agro-based industries are different from mineral-based industries in the following ways:
| Agro-based industries | Mineral-based industries |
| These industries use agricultural products as raw materials such as cotton and jute. | These industries use minerals as raw materials such as bauxite and iron ore. |
| The raw materials used by agro-based industries are generally perishable. | The raw materials used by mineral-based industries are generally non-perishable |
