Some feel that countries should produce most of the food that is eaten in their country and import as little as possible. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

According to some ,individuals the

majority

of

food

consumed by a

country

should be locally produced while avoiding a purchase from other nations to a greater extent. I partially agree with

this

notion and the logical reasons behind my partial agreement

within the

and avoiding imports as much as possible is that a huge expenditure is involved in purchasing consumables from the international market. It means

Consequently

nation

. Whereas, if the

majority

of

food

items

are produced locally and a little part is imported, a drastic reduction in the expensive charges paid during

import

can be observed.

This

is because the major

food

requirement would be satisfied by its in-house

production

itself.

On the other hand

, sometimes due to unfavourable climatic conditions the

production

of a specific consumable becomes extremely challenging for countries.

As a result

, an

import

seems to be a convenient option

instead

of investing billions to establish artificial

production

houses which are costly and their output is very limited.

For instance

, the

production

of Mushrooms has been initiated by Turkey to satisfy the requirement of their

nation

,

however

, due to cold temperature, the

production

was not possible which is why they came up with the idea of importing complete quantity from Vietnam.

Therefore

, when the weather conditions are unfavourable for the

production

of any particular consumable, a

country

can certainly

import

the

majority

instead

of attempting to produce locally. Conclusively,

import

involves many expenses which is why a

country

must produce consumables locally to reduce

import

requirements,

however

, when the weather conditions do not favour the

production

, the

import

of the

majority

of

items

to satisfy local needs becomes a wise decision.
