Document Summary
The whole production chain consists of different economic sectors. The economic sectors classify the productive activity of a state or territory based on its different stages. In other words, an economic sector represents a specific segment of the production circuit, which traditionally can be primary, secondary and tertiary, depending on its place in the general production chain. In other words, every productive circuit is broken down into economic sectors, within which it is possible to find very diverse activities, which have characteristics in common. For example, the initial activity of any production process is the collection of raw material, so it is the primary sector that is in charge of it, whether it is minerals, organic substances, food, etc. The products of the primary sector in general do not reach the consumer directly. The primary sector or extraction sector is the initial sector of the circuit. Their job is to obtain the raw material directly from the natural environment.
