Traditional Sector

The traditional sector refers to industries that have been established for a long time and depend on manual labor, natural resources, or physical infrastructure. Examples include agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, and manufacturing of tangible goods. These sectors often involve more physical work and less reliance on advanced technology compared to newer industries like information technology or finance. They are essential for providing foundational products and raw materials and typically have slower growth rates but are vital for economic stability and employment, especially in rural or resource-based regions.
