Primary means first. Primary industry, which I assume you're talking about, is Forestry, Farming, Fishing, and Mining. It's the industry that makes raw materials, which then goes on to Secondary Industry, where they make the raw materials into goods.

Tertiary industry is the service industry, such as teachers and shop clerks.

In geography, primary refers to economic activities involving the extraction of raw materials directly from the environment, such as agriculture, fishing, mining, and forestry. These activities are essential for the production of goods and provide the foundation for other economic sectors.
