Sectors [Business]

Classical theorists would suggest economic activities in three sectors:

Primary: involves the retrieval and roduction of raw materials, such as food grains, coal, oil, and iron.

Secondary: involves the transformation of raw or intermediate materials into goods e.g. manufacturing steel into cars, textiles, engineering.

Tertiary: involves the supplying of services to consumers and businesses, such as Personal care Beverage, cinema and banking.

Our concern is law and understanding of legal dimensions rather hardcore economic aspects, without overlooking it.
