Essential, critical sectors major contributor to economy during MCO 2.0


Key sectors such as commodities, mining and agriculture are allowed to operate nearly at full capacity.

He said key sectors such as commodities, mining and agriculture are allowed to operate nearly at full capacity as they are capital intensive and require less physical worker interaction.
