Answer: Primary product dependency is a large constraint on economic growth and development within LEDCs due to the fact that commodities and their producers are highly susceptible to price fluctuations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary product dependency discourages investment in other aspects of the economy. Concentrating on primary products does not always help the long-term development of an economy because it can contribute to a lack of investment in other aspects such as education and industrial production.
