In some countries more and more people are buying imported food rather than local food. Why do people buy? What can be done to encourage people to buy more locally produced food?

Recently imported

baskets. A great number of reasons are being suggested by experts which are enticing people to buy them;

however

, there are several practical solutions which can help local cuisines to prevail. Those who are buying these types of

food

have valid motivations. They usually take the example of cheap imported products like noodles which not only have

Furthermore

food

usually have attractive packages. It is needless to say that humans like beauty so it is not far from mind for them to be encouraged easily to buy one.

Thus

, one should say here that choosing imported

food

over local

ones

is inevitable. Despite the above so-called motives, the solutions are feasible.

First

of all, one effective way to tackle

this

problem is for government to control prices. If the government invests in local businesses to provide cheap meals, people will be encouraged to buy their products.

For example

, for local

foods

to survive in the competitive

market they should compete with affordable Chinese

foods

unless nobody buys their products. Added to that, by increasing the level of public education about the disadvantages of prepared

food

and its additives, the importance of eating more fresh local

ones

will be clear.

This

usually leads to the public even spending more on buying expensive healthy

foods

to guarantee their health. To sum up, imported

food

has been playing an increasingly important role in our diet.

Nevertheless

, there are several causes behind it, making local

food

more affordable and increasing the public awareness of the negative impacts of those types of

foods

can bring local

ones

back to their place.
