Explain any three ways in which multinational companies are spreading their production.

Answer»

Multinational Corporations (MNCs) are spreading their production in different ways. Some of them are:

  • By buying local companies and, then expanding production. For example, Cargill Foods, a very large American MNC, purchased small Indian company, Parakh foods. Cargill Foods is, now, the largest producer of edible oil in India with a capacity making 5 million pouches daily. 
  • By placing orders for production with small producers. Garments, footwears, sports items are examples where production is carried out by small producers for large MNCs around the world. 
  • By producing jointly with some of the local companies. It benefits the local company in two ways. 

1. A MNC can provide money for additional investments. 

2. A MNC can bring latest technology for production. 

  • For example, Ford Motors set up a large plant near Chennai, in collaboration with Mahindra and Mahindra, a major Indian manufacturer of jeeps and trucks.
