Many people believe that countries should produce food for all population eats and import food as little as possible. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is an ongoing debate on whether or not a country should import

food

. Some people argue that it is not a positive choice and

countries

should focus on producing their own

food

.

However

, I do not agree with

this

opinion and I will present arguments below to support my thought.

To begin

with, I believe importing

food

is not only positive but

also

necessary.

First

, very few

countries

are able to produce sufficient

food

to feed their entire population.

As a result

, they need to import

food

to cover their demands.

For example

,

countries

such

as England and Canada could not produce the amount of

food

necessary to feed the whole population and,

therefore

, importing is an option.

Second

, there are some geographic reasons that do not allow nations to produce some kinds of foods. To illustrate, some fruits,

such

as banana and apple, do not grow in certain climate zones. If a country is not able to produce it, the only way is to import it.

Furthermore

, when it comes to

food

importation it is not only about

food

but

also

about economic. Partnerships and agreements between nations are common and it is not simple to suspend previous contracts.

This

is because

countries

need each other to attend their increasing demand and the best option is to strengthen those contracts, not cancel it.

For instance

, Brazil does not produce sufficient soy while China does not produce enough meat and, to solve

this

problem, there are agreements to exchange these goods. To sum up, considering the arguments aforementioned, importing foods is necessary and those who believe that it is wrong do not have strong arguments to support their view. I hope rich

countries

improve their deals and have a cooperate effort to support poorer nations.
