In some countries, it is possible for people to have a variety of food that has been transported from all over the world. To what extent do you think its benefits outweigh the drawbacks?

Nowadays, people can enjoy more kinds of

food

from foreign countries than before. While some people argue it may harm the development of the local

food

industry, I think there are more benefits from the trend of transporting

food

globally. On the

one

hand, when people have more choices for meals or snacks, they are more likely to try the alien

one

as fashion, which may cause a negative impact on local

food

production.

For example

, more and more young Japanese are crazy about bubble

tea

from Taiwan, replacing the domine role of traditional green

tea

as a leisure beverage.

Such

a trend indirectly results in a falling number of

tea

farmers. More importantly, importing

food

could threaten the domestic

one

from the aspect of culture. While the new generation enjoys foreign products, they are gradually losing their sense of the local

one

, which turns to be so unpopular and

finally

extinct.

On the other hand

, facing the challenge from foreigners, local production may develop their skills and improve the

flavor

Change the spelling

flavour

show examples

to attract more customers, which enhances the quality of foods for people. To protect and extend the market share, the domestic

food

company would even create products for overseas buyers. Many Japanese

tea

producers have already adopted

such

a strategy aiming at the foreign market,

such

as decrease the bitterness of the

tea

. It could be regarded as a cultural export since the green

tea

, as a symbol of Japan, is recognized internationally. To conclude,

although

the imports of

food

is a challenge, both local productor and customers would be benefited.
