Primary Production
This is the process of producing or extracting raw materials. The raw materials extracted are not processed, value is not needed to it.
Examples of primary production
when a farmer grows tomatoes, he does not add value to the tomatoes, he harvests only tomatoes from the farm.
When a miner mines gold, diamond.
When a fisherman catches fish from the sea, the fish is a raw material, no value has been added to it.
All the above are examples of primary production because the materials have not been processed, value has not been added to them.
