Since most of the natural products we get, are from agriculture dairy, fishing, forestry, this sector is also called sector for agriculture and related activities (stone quarrying, animal husbandry, etc.) (ii) Secondary sector: It covers activities in which natural products are changed into other forms through ways of manufacturing. It can take place in a factory, workshop or at home. Examples: (a) Spinning yarn from cotton fibre from plants. (b) Making sugar from sugarcane. It is also called the Industrial sector.
