Extractive Industry:

The Extractive Industry is concerned with the extraction or drawing out products from natural sources. It supplies basic raw materials to other industries. Examples of such industries are farming, mining, hunting, lumbering, fishing, etc. Materials once extracted from earth cannot be replaced. Hence, these industries are also called exhaustive industries because with extraction there is depletion of resources and exhausts.
