Model Answer

Sugarcane is a perishable and bulky raw material — its sucrose content reduces during transportation, making it essential to process it close to the fields.

Source: Sugar Industry, Chapter 6

Explanation

The passage directly states: "The raw material used in this industry is bulky, and in haulage its sucrose content reduces." Examiners expect both key properties — bulk and perishability (loss of sucrose) — in one line. Mentioning only one may cost half the mark.
