A mango pulping plant is being sited. The fruit is bulky and perishable and the pulp is shelf-stable in aseptic packs.

Where should the plant be built?

  • A.Wherever land is cheapest
  • B.Near the orchards, the fruit being perishable
  • C.Near the final market
  • D.Midway between orchard and market

Answer: B

Correct answer: Near the orchards, the fruit being perishable

The raw material is bulky and perishable and the product is stable and compact, so the transport problem lies on the inbound side. Siting near the orchards gets the fruit into process while it is fresh and avoids hauling water and skin that will be discarded anyway. The aseptic pulp can then travel any distance.
