Abstract
As for the construction of the industrial zone here, factories and labourers in any industrial department are recently increasing.
Especially the increase of the production goods industries is more remarkable than that of the consumption goods industries.
At present, as far as the amount of production is concerned, the chemical industries occupy the top seat of all industries. When the factories are classified according to their productive scale, it is found that though the great majority of factories are middle or small industries, large scale factories occupy 70% of all industrial productions.
Niigata industrial zone having such an industrial construction is favoured with abundant amount of electric power of low cost, inexhaustive limestone, natural gas, the hidden amaunt of which guessed 380 cubicmetres, the oil field, the productive amount of which is said No.2 in Japan, and Niigata Harbour, the biggest one on the coast of the Japan Sea.
Since the zone here is favoured with these many advantageous locational conditions, the chemical industries above all will remarkably develop here, I believe.
