Types of Industries
Primary Industry
• An industry involved in the extraction and collection of natural resources / directly involve
with the nature.
• Includes Mining, Forestry, Agriculture and Fishing.
Secondary Industry
• An industry that processes or manufacture raw materials produced by primary industry into
goods that are more directly useable for consumers.
• It includes processing and manufacturing industries like Cotton Textile, Sugar Mills,
Cement, Fertilizer Industries etc.
Tertiary Industry
• An industry that provides goods or services to consumers
• It includes Transportation, Tourism, Education, Hospitals, Banks, Insurance Companies etc.
Types of Secondary Industries
Cottage Industries
• Also called household industries. It is an industry in which employees work in their
own homes, often using their own equipment, mostly women and children work in
them. These type of industries have small investment and low output, categorizes as
informal sector.
Small-scale Industries
• A unit employing less than 50 persons if using power and less than 100 persons
without the use of power and with capital assets not exceeding Rs. five lakhs.
Categorizes as Formal sector or Informal sector both.
• Financial Constrains
• Lack of technical knowledge
• Lack of experts / skilled labour
• Inaccessible mineral deposits
• Lack of Government will / low priority given to mineral extraction
• Institutional mismanagement
•
Ways to improve Industries in Pakistan
Encourage Discourage
• Site ( Flat, Cheap and unused
• Rugged landscape
land).
• Natural route ( near to densely • Extremely low and high
populated area / neighboring temperatures
countries or port) • Low population density
• Raw material producing area • Shortage of power
• Well developed infrastructure
• Inaccessibility
( Road, rail etc.)
• Power supply • Instable political situation /
• High population density termism
• Government Incentives like EPZ, • Lack of Government interest.
Industrial estates etc.
Cotton Textile Industry
• Textile industry
is primarily
concerned with
design and
production of
yarn, cloth,
clothing and
their
distribution.
Cotton Gin is a machine that separates the seeds, seed
Ginning Mills hulls, and other small objects from the fibers of cotton (lint).
Cotton Ginning
Process
• Weaving is a method of
textile production in which
two distinct sets of yarns or
threads are interlaced at
right angles to form a fabric
or cloth.
• In weaving, lengthwise
yarns are called warp;
crosswise yarns are called
weft, or filling.
Problem Faced by Cotton Textile
• Shortage of raw material
• Inaccessibility
• Instable political situation and bad Law and Order condition ( Terrorism)
• Frequent change in Government Policies ( Nationalization,
Denationalization etc.)
• Strong competition in the International Market especially by Taiwan,
Korea, Egypt etc.
• Trade barrier and embargo ( Child labour etc.)
• Power shortage
• Outdated machinery
• Financial constrains
• Shortage of Skilled labour
Describe the distribution of Study Fig. which shows the distribution of the
cotton textile industry in Pakistan.
cotton processing centres. [3]
SKILLS Beneficial to workforce, higher earnings, BUT shortage of training at the present time increase import
related to tertiary sector
COMPETITION Will improve standards BUT cannot compete, low quality of Pakistan products,
synthetics may be cheaper
TRADE Will stimulate / increase trade, earn foreign BUT inadequate port facilities, poor roads / rail etc.
exchange, improve balance of payments, pay
off
debts
TECHNOLOGY Good for development, can improve quality BUT high cost, lack of skilled workforce, unemployment,
and / or quantity shortage of electricity, more imports
INFRASTRUCTU Stimulates construction of better roads, BUT higher costs, shortages at source, others may lose supply
RE railways, power supply, water supply e.g. power, water
GENERAL Increase GDP BUT – may cause less investment in other industries
less land for food crops
quality must be good
leaf curl virus / other pests
climatic limitations
etc.
Explain what can be done to improve Pakistan’s cotton
textile industry.
Problems Solution
• Seasonal employment • Cottage and Small
• Skilled work may be lost due to seasonal jobs
industries using by-
• Inefficient use of machinery
• Natural Gas
• Nitrogen
• Sulphur
• Gypsum
• Potassium / Potash
• Phosphate
• Ammonia
• Fish, animal remains or bones
What are the benefits of increasing fertiliser production for the
people and the economy of Pakistan? [4]
• Higher yields
• More food production
• More agricultural exports, or improved balance of payments (max1)
• Reduced imports of fertiliser, or improved balance of payments
(max1)
• Higher GNP
• Less debt
• Higher farm incomes / profits
• More jobs
• Cheaper cost of fertiliser
• More industrial goods (e.g. cotton)
Environmental Damages of a Fertilizer
Industry
• Pollution
• Land clearance (deforestation) cause loss of habitat and
soil erosion.
• Disposal of waste damage soil and land
• Degradation / deformation of land.
• Traffic congestion.
• Agricultural run-off is major contributor to the
Eutrophication of fresh water bodies. The main
contributor to eutrophication is phosphate, which allows
the growth of Algae, consume oxygen.
Cement Industry
• Describe the distribution of
cement factories in Pakistan. [3]
• Examples
• Mostly north-east / Punjab area (1)
• One in central area (1)
• Cluster / six in south-east (1)
• Group / three close to / on coast /
in Sindh (1)
• Almost all in Punjab / Sindh / in
east of Pakistan (1)
Cement Industry
PROCESS
INPUTS OUTPUTS
Crushing / Grinding and Mixing
• The main ingredients (Limestone and
• Raw material Clay/ shale) are crushed, mixed
(Limestone, clay or together in proper portion and then
• Cement
shale and Gypsum) ground further.
• Labour,
Heating / Baking
• Land / area
• Mixture heated in a Rotary Kiln. Coal
• Buildings (mostly) or Oil (occasionally) is used
• Machinery as a fuel.
• Money / capital /
Mixing
investment
• The Kiln products are ground with
• Power / electricity / gas calcium sulphate (Gypsum) to make
/ coal / oil cement.
• Water • Gypsum prevents cement from
setting too quickly after water is
added.
Uses of concrete
• Roads / pavement
• Bridges
• Multi-storey buildings
• Housing / flats
• Factories
• Offices
• Shops
• Street furniture e.g. lamp or electricity poles,
bollards
Importance of concrete to the development of Karachi /
any City
• Developing / increasing population, industrialisation,
offices, housing, ports, roads,
• Better roads for transport
• Better bridges for access
• Stronger building materials
• Long-lasting / more durable / less chance of damage
• More modern appearance like multi storey buildings
• Improving slums / squatters / Kacha Abadi
• Building Streets furniture like Poles, Street Lights/lamps
• Building Dams etc.
Advantages Disadvantages
To city and citizens • Air pollution / dust / smoke
• Cheaper transport costs to work • Noise
• Readily available / quicker • Visual pollution / quarries }
supply pollution / Water pollution /
• Employment Dumping of waste
• Traffic congestion
• Loss of farmland
To cement company
• Loss of other land uses e.g.
• Supply of labour
housing, roads, industry
• Good infrastructure e.g. port, • Population growth / rural-urban
roads, electricity, water (up to migration
2) • Squatters / Kacha Abadi / slums
• Market / near demand • May be distance from raw
• Cheaper delivery costs materials
Iron and Steel Industries
• Importance of Iron and steel industry for
Pakistan was cleared by 1955.
• The foundation stone for this gigantic project
was laid on the 30th of December, 1973 by the
then prime minister Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.
Disadvantages
• Lack of raw materials/imported
• High cost of imported iron / other raw materials
• Burden on economy / less development
• Cost / Lack of machinery / technology / set-up costs
• Cost / Lack of infrastructure / power supplies / roads etc.
• Lack of skilled labour
• More waste / named pollution (max 2.)
• May encourage rural-urban migration
• Accept ‘increases balance of payments’ if opposite not given in advantages
Pakistan Steelworks is called ‘a large scale industry’
Mixing
• Raw material • Clay mixed with water • Red Bricks
(Clay and Water)
Moulding
• Labour, • Place in moulds.
• Land / area
