Answer: It is particularly true of products that have low value - to - weight ratio
Explanation:
Products that have high value - to - weight ratio are commodities that are costly but do not weigh so much. Therefore, the cost to ship these commodities from where they are produced to other markets or places they are required is usually low.
This naturally implies that it may not be a bad idea (business - wise) if such commodities are manufactured or produced at a single place and then shipped to other locations from there. Example of products that usually have high value - to - weight ratios are diamond necklaces or wrist watches. A single unit of such products may not weigh more than 150g but may worth more than one million US dollars.
On the other hand, products or goods that are said to have low value - to - weight ratio are commodities that weigh so much but at the same time not expensive. Examples of such products that may have low value - to - weight ratios are certain bulky chemicals and paints. Since these sort of commodities are usually inexpensive, their bulky or heavy nature may then make them to be extremely expensive if they are shipped a long distance.
Therefore, it will make more "business - sense" and save costs if these commodities are manufactured or produced in different locations and markets they are needed.
