Ineconomics, theprimary sector is theeconomic sector which comprisesindustry involved in the extraction and production ofraw materials, such asfarming,logging,fishing,forestry andmining.[1][2][3] The primary sector tends to make up a larger portion of the economy indeveloping countries than it does indeveloped countries. For example, in 2018, agriculture, forestry, and fishing comprised more than 15% of GDP insub-Saharan Africa[4] but less than 1% of GDP inNorth America.[5]

In developed countries the primary sector has become more technologically advanced, enabling for example the mechanization of farming, as compared with lower-tech methods[a] in poorer countries.[6] More developed economies may invest additional capital in primary means of production: for example, in the United StatesCorn Belt,combine harvesters pick the corn, and sprayers spray large amounts ofinsecticides,herbicides andfungicides, producing a higher yield than is possible using less capital-intensive techniques. These technological advances and investment allow the primary sector to employ a smaller workforce, so developed countries tend to have a smaller percentage of their workforce involved in primary activities, instead having a higher percentage involved in thesecondary andtertiary sectors.[7]
