(ii) Secondary sector :
➠ In this, natural products are changed into other forms through manufacturing that we associate with industrial activity.
➠ The product is not produced by nature but has to be made and therefore, some process of manufacturing is essential.
➠ For example, using cotton fibre from the plant we spin, yarn and weave cloth.
(iii) Tertiary sector :
➠ It helps in the development of the primary and secondary sectors.
➠ They provide aid or a support for the production process.
