Agricultural location - Nougyorich

Japanese: 農業立地 - のうぎょうりっち

Agricultural production is organic production based on the cultivation and raising of crops and livestock, and is greatly restricted by natural conditions (weather, soil, topography, altitude, etc.). Furthermore, many of the products, including fresh produce such as vegetables, fruits, and milk, are difficult to transport or store. In addition to these technical restrictions on shipping and distribution, the relative value of the products (price per unit volume) is lower than that of general industrial products, making it difficult to ship to long-distance markets due to the burden of freight charges.

Japanese:

農業生産は，作物，家畜などの栽培･飼養に基づく有機的生産であり，自然的条件(気象，土壌，地形，標高など)に大きく制約されている。また生産物は，野菜，果実，牛乳などのような生鮮品をはじめ，輸送性や貯蔵性を欠いている品目が多い。このような出荷流通上の技術的制約とともに，生産物の比価(単位容量当り価格)が一般工業製品に比べて小さいこともあって，運賃負担の関係から遠距離市場への出荷にも困難を伴うことになる。
