The dominant consideration in siting a fruit or vegetable processing plant is usually

  • A.Proximity to the raw material
  • B.Proximity to the final market
  • C.The availability of skilled labour
  • D.The price of land

Answer: A

Correct answer: Proximity to the raw material

Fruit and vegetables are bulky, perishable and lose weight in processing, so hauling them any distance costs money and quality alike. Siting the plant near the growing area minimises transport of the heavy raw material and gets it into process while it is fresh; the finished product is lighter, stable and can be carried to market.
