Detailed Solution

The cement industry is not based on agricultural raw materials. Cotton, paper, and sugar industries depend on agriculture for raw materials. The cotton industries depend on cotton producers for raw materials. Most cotton industries are set up around the cotton-producing states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, etc. The sugar industry depends on sugarcane for raw materials to produce sugar, gur, etc. The sugarcane starts losing its sugar content once harvested from the fields. So to prevent the major loss, sugar mills are set up around the sugarcane-producing areas in states like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Bihar, Punjab, and Haryana.
