For its part, primary activities (agriculture, livestock, fishing, hunting and forestry) would be registering an expansion of 2.1% during this period.
tertiary activities, trade and serviceswould show an advance of 0.6%, this implies an important pressure to the total production because this is the sector that contributes the most to the national economy (close to 60 percent).
