Question

Using sugarcane as raw-materials, we make sugar. Under which sector does this activity come?

Options

• Primary sector

• Secondary sector

• Tertiary sector

• Industrial sector

Answer 1

Secondary sector

Explanation:

• The Primary sector involves activities that exploit natural resources directly, such as growing sugarcane.
• The Secondary sector involves producing goods by using raw materials from the primary sector. It includes manufacturing and industrial activities, like turning sugarcane into sugar.
• The Tertiary sector provides services to the primary and secondary sectors but does not produce goods.

Since making sugar from sugarcane involves processing raw materials into finished goods, this is a secondary sector (industrial sector) activity.
