emphasising . Indeed , the location of
industrial enterprises is sometimes
determined simply by location of
the raw materials.

necessary for the assembly of raw
materials and for the marketing of
the finished products .
v ) Market :

is useless until the finished goods
reach the market . Nearness to
market is essential for quick
disposal of manufactured goods. It
helps in reducing the transport cost
and enables the consumer to get
things at cheaper rates .
