  • Componing a product, if I use markets instead production for ingredients supply, is necesary add transport as an input to consider distances until Production Facility or this is already considered into market?

Dear user,

 

Thank you for your question. The market datasets include average transports of a product from a producer to a consumer within a certain geography. Transport distances refer to the wet mass of the reference product and are given as metric ton*km.  

 

If you would like to read more about the specifications of a market dataset, have a look at this -> FAQ.

 

Let us know if you have any other questions.

 

Kind Regards,
