The location pattern of the food industry depends on domestic and imported raw material sources and location of domestic consumption. 2)With the cross-sectional DPG analysis, agricultural and food industry products are shipped from the agricultural areas (e.g. Hokkaido) to the industrial areas (e.g. Kanto). In this case, the shipped agricultural and food items are limited.
