Some people think that food is one of the most fundamental economic products and should be mostly produced by each country for its own consumption, with only minimal export of products to other countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give your own opinion and relevant examples.

A growing number of

Hence

a countless number of special foods across the world. It is often said that by marketing domestic products to international buyers,

Consequently
