[3 × 1] [3] (ii) Ideas to credit will depend on the industry chosen: e.g. sugar beet refining - the raw materials have influenced the location to a great extent/it is a raw material location/located near sugar beet farms (eval); as it uses large quantities of raw materials/sugar beet; raw materials are more bulky than finished products; as weight is lost in processing (dev.); transport costs can be saved by locating close to farms; sugar is delivered nationwide/market is not just in one area so location next to it is impossible; sugar is not perishable etc. NB: Be prepared to accept any example of manufacturing or processing (but not high technology industry). It is valid to choose an industry (such as bread making) where the location has been barely influenced by where the raw materials are obtained as it is a market location. One mark reserved for evaluative element.
