All your points are right. It is just not well written.

Perhaps the author feels that "草原……行业 ("grassland industry") and 海洋……行业 ("ocean industry"), would give a more generic, broader meaning. 农业 and 渔业, (agriculture & fishing), would be too confining in their applications. Agriculture would just be the planting of crops whereas 草原……行业 would include animal husbandry, and  海洋……行业 would include oyster farming, pearl diving, crabbing, besides just plain commercial fishing. It's like "transport industry" would encompass taxi drivers, bus drivers, pilots, train engineers, etc.  Also 行业, (industry, trade), is wider and general in its meaning than just 业.

@Wayne Cheah:  perfect answer.  We see the flexibility of Chinese language here. Simple change of one character can easily widen or narrow down your coverage.

I'm confused about the part in bold above, which lists industries: [林业](https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?wdqb=%E6%9E%97%E4%B8%9A) = forestry, [农业](https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?wdqb=%E5%86%9C%E4%B8%9A) = agriculture, [草原](https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?wdqb=%E8%8D%89%E5%8E%9F) = grassland, [海洋](https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?wdqb=%E6%B5%B7%E6%B4%8B) = ocean, [资源](https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?wdqb=%E8%B5%84%E6%BA%90) = natural resource, and [环境](https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?wdqb=%E7%8E%AF%E5%A2%83) = environment.

I don't understand what 草原……行业 ("grassland industry") and 海洋……行业 ("ocean industry") refer to, and why use these terms instead of 农业 and [渔业](https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?wdqb=%E6%B8%94%E4%B8%9A) ("fishing industry"), respectively, which (to me) seem more ordinary.

草原 should mean animal agriculture(畜牧業) and any other nature resources related to grassland.

海洋 have similar concept of 草原.

You could use 農林漁牧業 to indicate agriculture,forestry,fishing and animal agriculture industries.
