‘It is a port that specializes in receiving and redistributing goods to the neighboring countries’. Which of the following ports is described in the preceding statement?
Explanation
An entrepot is a port that receives goods from one country and sends them to other nearby countries. It acts as a distribution center.
Singapore and Hong Kong are famous entrepot ports. They import goods and re-export them to neighboring nations.
Entrepot comes from a French word meaning “warehouse” or “storage place.”
