In many countries, more and more people choose to buy imported food rather than food producted locally. Why people buy imported food? What could be done to encourage people to buy local food?

In the most recent years, the

amount

of exotic

food

consumed goes higher and higher in growth in many nations. Indeed, people tend to buy imported

food

instead

of domestic

food

. There are a number of reasons for

this

trend and measures could be taken to set to grow for indigenous

food

. There are several good grounds that have led to the increase of foreign

food

’ consumption. One of these is that many consumers believe that imported

food

is safer than

food

produced locally. They claim that exotic

food

are cultivated in better environment which it is unnecessary to use pesticides or chemicals to accelerate crops. Another reason is that imported

food

has better quality than

food

which is produced locally.

In other words

, foreign

food

is well selected before being exported to a nation and the state would not allow the crates of low quality

food

be imported.

However

, the trend explained above would adversely affect people who produce as well as selling domestic

food

and there are several measures that the local authorities would do to help people in need. The

first

solution is that the state should make an attempt to put a constraint on the

amount

of

food

imported. By

this

method, the demand for local

food

could positively thrive by the rarity of foreign

food

. Another measure is by using one of the redeeming qualities of domestic

food

is cheap, the authorities could make a sales campaign to help local firms attempt to satisfy their customers’ demands.

For example

, Fahasa, the biggest bookstore in Vietnam, they make numerous sales every year, but they rarely discount for foreign product, and each time

this

campaign happened, the

amount

of Vietnamese books sold was remarkably increased. In conclusion, the fact that the demand for imported

food

has increased and the reduction of producing

food

locally is attributable to its safety and its high quality.

This

can be handled by restricting the

amount

of

food

imported and making a sales campaign.
