Abstract

The economic productivity of a region or state, despite its potential, cannot be greater than the value of its products in consuming areas, less transportation costs. Therefore, efficiency of transportation systems limits the productivity of areas distant from markets and influences the patterns of productive methods. Transportation plays a vital role in structural change in the raising of livestock and the distribution of meats and other products and in the location of livestock production, meat processing and marketing facilities.
