committee for the grassroots sector

"De base" is usually translated as 'grassroots' in this type of context, though it doesn't sound as elegant as the Portuguese.

Examples of 'grassroots sector':

Dependendo do contexto, acredito que setor de base seja o mesmo que indústria de base


https://pt.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indústria_de_base

Indústria de base é o tipo de indústria em que a sua produção é absorvida por outras indústrias, ou seja, produzindo máquinas ou matéria prima. Também chamadas de indústrias de bens intermediários ou indústrias pesadas, incluem principalmente os ramos: siderúrgico, metalúrgico, petroquímico e de cimento.

São indústrias que têm no desenvolvimento de outras indústrias sua mais importante justificativa

What are primary industries?

One way to describe primary industries would be to say that they are involved in the growing, harvesting, extracting and sometimes processing of natural resources which form the basis of the products we use in our everyday lives. One example would be dairy farming, another would be forestry.

Primary industries also create the basic materials for use in other industries, such as growing and harvesting wheat that can then be turned into the bread which you make your toast from every morning, or the raising of sheep for your Sunday roast.
