A lot of answers and even questions here are incomplete. And the disheartening thing is that most of them have received complaints as far back as 2/3 years ago but nothing seems to habe been done about it. Highly unprofessional
bi) Primary sector
mining+fish farming
16.6+10.8=26.9 million
ii) Secondary sector
shoe production+ fish processing +food crop production+ Baking + laundry=
30+19+15.6+19+10.3=93.9 million
iii)Tetiary sector
Banking + Warehousing
37+12.2
=49.2 million
