SO LET’S PRACTICE, USING THE PRODUCT OF ICE CREAM.

PRIMARY SECTOR Dairy farmers milk cows to get milk which is the raw material.

SECONDARY SECTOR Milk is used to make many products including Ice Cream.

TERTIARY SECTOR Ice Cream is sold in many different ways, including from a cart at the fair, or baseball game.

QUARTERNARY SECTOR Data was collected and showed people wanted “organic” Ice Cream. We also had to determine what qualified as “organic” by the FDA and had to follow those guidelines in production and advertisements.

QUINARY SECTOR This product is high in fat and sugar. Ice Cream companies hire scientists and nutritionists to make the product less fattening, or sugar free.
