Question

Which industry is ideally located close to the raw material producing area?

विकल्प

• Silk industry

• Jute industry

• Cotton textile industry

• Sugar industry

Answer 1

Jute industry

Explanation:

Jute mills should be located close to jute-producing areas because raw jute is bulky, seasonal and perishable; proximity reduces transport costs, prevents deterioration and allows quick processing. Consequently, jute mills are concentrated near the Ganga delta/Hooghly region to access raw materials efficiently.
