Short Answer

Solution

Cotton textile businesses are found primarily in cotton-growing areas since cotton is a heavy and perishable raw material that must be handled quickly after harvesting to maintain its quality. Setting mills near to the source minimizes transportation expenses while ensuring a consistent and timely supply of raw cotton. Also, cotton-growing locations frequently have favorable meteorological conditions, such as warm and humid weather, that are great for spinning and weaving. These variables make cotton-growing areas ideal for creating cotton textile companies.
