The **products** section describes all products and subproducts in the simulation. The field `instance["products"]` is a dictionary mapping the name of the product to a dictionary which describes its characteristics. Each product description contains the following keys:
* `transportation cost`, the cost (in dollars per km) to transport this product.
* `transportation cost`, the cost (in dollars per km per kg) to transport this product.
* `initial amounts,` a dictionary mapping the name of each location to its description (see below). If this product is not initially available, this key may be omitted.
* `initial amounts,` a dictionary mapping the name of each location to its description (see below). If this product is not initially available, this key may be omitted.
Each product may have some amount available at the beginning of the simulation. In this case, the key `initial amounts` maps to a dictionary with the following keys:

The keys in the disposal dictionary should be the names of the products. The values are dictionaries with the following keys:
* `cost`, the cost (in dollars per kg) to dispose of the product.
* `limit`, the maximum amount (in kg) that can be disposed of. If an unlimited amount can be disposed, this key may be omitted.
