Why primary production pre-dominates in development countries?

Primary production predominates in developing countries due to their reliance on agriculture and natural resource extraction as key economic activities. Limited access to technology and capital restricts the ability to diversify into secondary and tertiary industries. Additionally, a large portion of the population is often engaged in subsistence farming, which further emphasizes the importance of primary production for livelihood and food security. The economic structure in these countries frequently remains centered around raw material exports, reinforcing the dominance of primary production.
