Question on: JAMB Economics - 1995

The demand made on each other by the agriculture and industrial sector as the economy grows are reflected in backward and forward linkages.

• Backward linkages: These refer to the demand from an industry for the output of another industry. For instance, the industrial sector demands raw materials like cotton from the agricultural sector.
• Forward linkages: These represent the demand from one industry for the output of another. For example, agricultural products are processed by the industrial sector.
