Primary Industry  The primary sector of industry takes natural resources from the environment, and makes them into semi-finished products them.  Most products from this sector are considered raw materials for other industries.  Major businesses in this sector include agriculture, agribusiness, fishing, forestry and all mining and quarrying industries.
