What are the main factors in the location of food processing enterprises?

Food processing enterprises are oriented towards raw materials and consumers in their location. Industries associated with the processing of large volumes of raw materials, as a rule, tend to the raw material zones, for example, sugar and fruit canning factories. Products manufactured by such enterprises are easily packaged, stored for a long time and easily transported over long distances. But industries that produce multicomponent, perishable and poorly transportable products are located closer to the consumer, for example: fat-and-oil and dairy factories producing sauces, baby food, cottage cheese, yoghurts, etc. The delivery time of the products of such enterprises from the conveyor to the buyer should be minimal.
