Some feel that countries should produce most of the food that is eaten in their country and import as little as possible. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Importing

food

from other countries is a common phenomenon for some nations. It is argued by some that

food

production should be increased and

food

import should be limited.

This

essay will discuss

this

issue and explain why I totally agree with the increase in producing and decrease in importing. Sufficiency in

food

demanded by people in a country leads in a limited amount of imported

food

, which is very beneficial for a society. The most significant reason behind

this

claim is saving the budget

that is

used for importing.

For example

, by empowering the agriculture,

this

aim can be achieved more easily.

This

way the economy of the country will benefit as well. Another positive point of

this

action can be observed in launching more job opportunities. Indeed, every step toward self-sufficiency in

food

, requires setting up a new business and

therefore

hiring more workers.

For instance

, even a small sausage factory can provide many job opportunities for unemployed people. So, the rate of unemployment will decrease and the society will have a more prosperous economy. To conclude,

although

there is some

food

that needs to be imported, to minimize the amount of

this

process of importing, a country should try to produce as much

food

as it can for its people.

Hence

, the economy will benefit to a great deal.
