Mexico has vast natural resources in terms of Beef, Oil, Gas, Copper, Gold etc.

For this question, let's take the example of Livestock i. e. Cows

Primary Level: On a primary level, cattle farming is a main source income for farmers in villages.

Secondary Level: These farmers are able to sell cattle to large slaughterhouse which are able to manufacturer and export beef cuts to the United States. This is an example of a secondary economic activity.

Service Level: Lastly, all kinds of activities involved in shipping, banking, trading, marketing, promotion, graphic design and communication between an export in Mexico and an importer in the US are examples of the service industry.
