farmers within a country are often protected by tariffs - that is, special taxes on imported food. Such policies are necessary, and should be implemented wherever possible. To what extent do you agree with this? Give reasons for your answer, and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

The agriculture industry is the backbone for many countries. Many countries' governments impose taxes on imported eating items.

Such

laws are essential and should be imposed if needed. I fully agree with the given statement. In my opinion, these taxes not only save local farmers; but

also

decrease

unemployment

.

To begin

with, if the authorities allow foreign items

import

free of cost, it will be a worst decision for their local farmers. Agriculture is the primary source of income for many citizens of a country

such

as India. If

such

a nation allows

import

of goods from other countries without any taxes, nobody will buy products produced by local farmers.

For example

, 70% population of India is dependent on agriculture. Free

import

not only force local people to sell their vegetables or fruits less than its producing cost; but

also

put

such

people in poverty.

Secondly

, high

import

can cause

unemployment

as well. It is a general human tendency to buy cheap products and if a government allows

such

food

import

without any tax, it will encourage people to buy them as these products will be cheap;

consequently many

Accept comma addition

Consequently, many

Consequently many

local people

such

as farmers, transportation drivers, local commission agent shopkeepers, who are dependent on the local products will lose their jobs. Needless to say,

unemployment

is the biggest setback for a country. To explain with an example, currently there is a trade war going on in between China and USA. USA wants China to reduce tariffs on US products.

However

, China is not doing so because it will kill their local businesses. To conclude, special taxes on foreign product is good for the local farmer. Imported food can force local people to poverty and cause

unemployment
