Answer»

Godown:

A godown is a place for storing large amount of products before sending – them to the market for selling. The service of storing the products is called godown service or warehouse service.

Need of a godown:

  • Generally, after production a product is not immediately sold or consumed and hence it needs to be stored.
  • On many occasions raw material or partly produced products also need to be stored for further processes.
  • Some food items may be produced only during a specific season of the year but would require its storage for selling them throught the year.
  • Some goods may be produced and stored in godowns but would be sold when the demand arises.
    Perishable goods like fruits, ice-cream, etc. need proper storage so that they can be distributed and sold as and when needed.
  • Thus, godowns do not produce anything but create time utility.
