Dear Student,
The primary sector is considered as the most important sector of
economic activity during the initial stages of development because
of the following reasons:
1 The primary sector usually produces variety of raw materials
that are sent to another sector called secondary sector for
manufacturing purposes The the manufactured materials are further
sent for transportation by the territory sector
2 The primary sector also directly makes use of the natural
resources It is the most important sector which provides adequate
employment opportunities to large number of people in the
under-developed or developing countries
3 Utmost importance is given to the procurement of raw materials
in the primary sector without which the very existence and survival
of secondary and territory sectors become impossible Thus, the
primary sector plays a crucial role in the initial stages of
development
