In current days, it is common for
countries
Use synonyms
 to import food
products
Use synonyms
 from other foreign
countries
Use synonyms
.
For instance
Linking Words
, Japan imports various fruit
products
Use synonyms
 from Taiwan.
This
Linking Words
 phenomenon raises the question of whether
countries
Use synonyms
 should buy
foods
Use synonyms
 from other
countries
Use synonyms
 or they should produce food
products
Use synonyms
 on their own as many as possible. In the following, I will offer my view. Some argue that
countries
Use synonyms
 should not rely on imported
foods
Use synonyms
; rather, they should produce
foods
Use synonyms
 on their own via manufacturing or farming.
This
Linking Words
 way is beneficial to
countries
Use synonyms
' stable development since they will not easily be affected by other
countries
Use synonyms
.
For instance
Linking Words
, if the output
countries
Use synonyms
 are in a financial crisis, they may raise the
products
Use synonyms
' prices. In
this
Linking Words
 way,
countries
Use synonyms
 that import too many food
products
Use synonyms
 may spend a large sum of money on those
products
Use synonyms
.
As a result
Linking Words
, they have to cut off their expenditure on other stuff,
such
Linking Words
 as infrastructure, education, or medicine,
hence
Linking Words
 detrimental to their own development.
However
Linking Words
, for some small
countries
Use synonyms
, I think they are hard to produce
foods
Use synonyms
 independently. An example is Singapore.
This
Linking Words
 small country does not have enough land and population to develop its own farming industry.
Consequently
Linking Words
, they primarily focus on providing financial services, which need not land and population, to other
countries
Use synonyms
.
Therefore
Linking Words
, the Singapore government does not really have a choice. It can only import
foods
Use synonyms
 from other
countries
Use synonyms
 for the consumption of its citizens. In short, I agree that
countries
Use synonyms
 producing
foods
Use synonyms
 on their own are an advantage to their development. Yet, purchasing
foods
Use synonyms
 from other nations is unavoidable in some exceptional cases.
Thus
Linking Words
, at least for those particular cases, I think that
countries
Use synonyms
 do not have an obligation to produce
foods
Use synonyms
 on their own.
