In many countries, more and more people choose to buy imported food rather than food produced locally. Why people buy imported food? What could be done to encourage people to buy local food?
An increasing number of individuals worldwide opt to
purchase
food
products
, which are imported from overseas, instead
of locally produced. While
there are two primary reasons for this
practice such
as the absence of some products
from markets and the low quality
of the local food
products
, There are some suggestions to tackle this
issue like organizing national-scale promotions as well as
developing the nation's agricultural and industrial infrastructure to fulfil the demands.
On the one
hand, one
profound reason is the incapacity of growing certain crops. This
is because there are some plants, which require special conditions of humidity, temperature, and water supplies, that do not grow in some countries. For instance
, due to
the absence of sunlight for long periods throughout the year, Norway can not grow rice
. Therefore
, the Norwegian government exports rice
along with
other grain crops from Ukraine and Egypt, as both of these countries are considered two of the largest exporters of rice
. Another prominent cause would be the low quality
of the local food
products
. When a person goes to markets to do shopping, he would start
to compare various Wrong verb form
starts

products
and finally

within budget without looking at the manufacturer's country. A survey conducted by the National Iraqi newspaper revealed that around 65% of the people who were questioned purchased imported food
products
because of their high quality
.
On the other hand
, there are some suggestions to reverse this
situation, one
of which is organizing promotional campaigns to let people know and encourage them to purchase
locally manufactured food
products
. Some people may not know that there are high-quality
food
products
that can compete against foreign ones
. For instance
, when the Iraqi government saw that the local food
products
were left on the markets' shelves covered with dust without demand, and after attempting several unsuccessful methods, Iraqi officials finally
came out with the brilliant notion of organizing national-scale campaigns to promote local food
products
. As a result
, the sales of local food
items increased dramatically, whereas
the demand for imported ones
dropped. Another great thought would be developing the nation's agricultural and industrial infrastructure to produce high-quality
products
as well as
to accommodate the demands. This
can be done By constructing highly sophisticated factories with several production lines and purchasing advanced machinery to boost productivity and improve item quality
.
In conclusion, an escalating number of individuals worldwide prefer to purchase
imported food
products
rather than buying locally manufactured ones
. locally produced food
items have lower quality
than imported ones
and the inability of producing
some Change preposition
to produce
food
products
like rice
are two possible reasons for this
trend. Nevertheless
, developing the nation's industrial and agricultural infrastructure to fulfil the demand and produce high-quality
products
as well as
investing money to organize promotion campaigns can be viable suggestions to tackle this
issue.Submitted by adelsot2005 on
