Question

Visit a secondary occupation in your area. Gather information related to that occupation using the following points and note it down.

• Name of the occupation
• Raw material used
• Source of raw material
• Finished product
• Market for finished product
• Tertiary occupations required in it.

Answer 1

I visited a bakery, which is a secondary occupation because raw materials are processed to make finished food products.

• Name of the occupation: Bakery / Bread and biscuit making
• Raw materials used: Wheat flour, sugar, milk, butter or oil, yeast, salt and other ingredients
• Source of raw material: Flour comes from flour mills, while sugar, milk, butter and other ingredients are supplied by farms, dairies, wholesalers and markets
• Finished product: Bread, biscuits, cakes, buns and other bakery products
• Market for finished product: Local shops, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, schools and households
• Tertiary occupations required: Transport, storage, packaging, wholesale and retail trade, advertising, banking and delivery services

Thus, a bakery depends on both primary occupations for raw materials and tertiary occupations for transport and sale of finished products.
