How are the agro based and mineral based industries important in different ways?
Answers
Agro-based industries require raw materials from the agricultural sector, thereby providing ready market for agricultural produce. It helps farmers to sell their products easily and at a standardised price. Examples are textiles, vegetable oils, sugar etc.
Mineral-based industries depend on minerals like iron, copper, zinc, lead etc. These are the heavy industries which help in infrastructural growth and development of the country.
