Selection of the Optimum Size and Location of a Soybean Processing Plant in Puerto Rico
Abstract
dc:descriptionA rapidly increasing demand for soybean products in Puerto Rico has prompted some private and public decision makers to evaluate the economic feasibility of establishing a soybean processing plant on the Island. Such an economic decision demands a careful evaluation of all the factors determining the costs and benefits of its implementation. Among the considerations affecting the establishment of a soybean processing plant, the selection of the least-cost site location and size of the plant appears to be one of the most relevant factors in the analysis, because of its direct incidence in the overall profitability and feasibility of such type of enterprise. Thus, the overall purpose of this study was the selection of the optimal size and location of the proposed plant for Puerto Rico.
