Labour Availability = how easy or difficult it is to employ seasonal workers to help with jobs such as shearing, harvesting, pruning and thinning The closer the area of primary production to towns or cities the easier it is for the grower/producer to find labourers. If the area is remote – the farmer or grower may have to provide accommodation.

Closeness to processing plants and markets Different products have different expiring dates – this means that some products such as cut flowers need to be close to markets so that they do not lose their freshness Milk and meat can be more remotely located because it can be chilled. However, transporting animals to meat works can be expensive

Closeness to processing plants Being close to processing plants and markets mean less risk of damage in transit
