Some countries import a large amount of food from other parts of the world. To what extent is this a positive or negative trend?

It has been pointed out that a significant percentage of

food

produced in some local regions are exported to other

countries

. In my opinion,

this

is an appalling situation not only for imported nations’

economy

but

also

for our

environment

.

First

of all, those who rely on imported

food

particularly agricultural

food

are facing a huge economical issue . The reason is that local residents’ demand for

food

such

as meat and grain is stable, if

countries

import a lot of

food

from other regions,local farms or factories have to close down as they no longer need to produce.

As a result

, the local

food

industry meets an incredible crisis, which brings a massive drawback for nation productivity and damages the local

economy

.

For instance

, China has been making cereal business with France since

last

year. That French cereal occupies most of the Chinese market which belonged to local manufacturers. Nowadays, local cereal companies have to shut down, which hurts the local

economy

.

Furthermore

, if nations are importing and exporting products, transporting products is necessary between those

countries

, which results in a negative impact on our

environment

.

This

is because that transportation

produces a vast amount of air and sea pollution. As an illustration, Chinese companies always transport beef and dairy products from Australia. These items normally are shipped by cargoes which burn a massive proportion of fuels and even emit carbon into our

environment

,

thus

leading to air pollutants and even damage our

environment

. In conclusion, people may vary in their opinions about importing and exporting

food

between

countries

. I believe that

this

is an extremely detrimental trend regarding the local

economy

and environmental protection.
