Countries should produce the food that their population eat, and import as little as possible. To what extend do you agree or disagree? Give reasons, examples to your answer

Every

country

wants to reduce its dependency on importing while wishes to maximise its export items and

food

is not an exception to that.

However

, not all

countries

have the same geographic features, weather condition and suitable lands to produce each type of

food

the citizens need.

This

is why a

country

should

focus

more on its overall economic growth rather than using

manpower

and budget to become self-reliant on

food

, despite some people's opposing views.

To begin

with, soil, weather condition, available lands and demographics of a county determines what crops and fruits it can produce. Not all

countries

have the same geographical feature and

manpower

and

thus

it is evitable that some of the items require importing. In many cases, importing is rather advantageous than producing it.

For instance

, it is impossible for an Arab

country

to produce all types of foods due to its weather condition. If they

items and engage

to do that, their economic growth would get slower.

Moreover

, a

country

like Germany and China can

focus

on manufacturing and industrial innovation while import

food

from other

countries

. The ultimate outcome is more beneficial for them.

However

,

this

might not be the case for a

that solely depends on the agriculture sector and

. To conclude, I personally believe that

free trade and globalisation have made the world a global village and with the speedy transportation system,

import cost has already declined. Since fulfilling the mass people's diverse needs for various kinds of

is not feasible for a

, it should

on its true potential rather than allocating budget and
