उत्तर
- The place where conversion of products obtained from primary activities into final products takes place, is called ‘factory’.
- To set up an industry, one needs raw material and that has to be transported from somewhere.
- The characteristics of the raw material and also the finished product affect the location of industries.
- Weight-losing industries are industries where the raw materials are relatively bulky, but the resulting product is relatively lighter.
- For example, sugar industries need sugarcane.
- Sugarcane loses weight and amount of sugar after harvesting as time after harvest increases.
- Sugar industries are, therefore, located near the production of raw material.
