Primary industries are very spread out. You need to get them energy and (some) water.
The problem with energy is that for steam power you also need water. Unless there's a water source nearby, you need to bring it via fluid wagons which need pumps which need electricity. So unless you have a water source nearby, you will probably wait for solar panels.
A biomass burner can be a cheap but inefficient alternative to solar panels, until you get those.
The biomass burner can use food products from the primary industries, that are processed into biomass.

New recipe for food products to turn them into biomass
