There is a problem with local production: it's more efficient to have 1 machine make a thousand widgets than it is to have 100 machines in a bunch of different areas make 10 widgets each. There's only one thing to fix that way. 1 machine takes up fewer resources than 100 machines. There is a reason economies of scale exist in real life.
