Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
The sugar industry is best located near the source of raw materials because:
* Sugar production involves processing bulky sugarcane.
* The weight and volume of sugarcane are significantly reduced during processing.
* Transporting a large quantity of sugarcane over long distances would be expensive.
* Locating the factory near the raw materials (sugarcane farms) reduces transportation costs and spoilage risks.
