Some people believe that countries should produce all the food necessary to feed their populations and import as little food as possible. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, globalization allows nations to fulfil their needs from other countries and the extent of transactions is increasing as well. It has been suggested that governments should prepare all the nourishment for their citizens that they need from their people and purchase minimum

food

from another region. In my opinion, countries should manufacture the

food

in their-self

country

. It is my view that, from an economic perspective, providing

food

for residents, from inside the

country

, leads to more job opportunities in agriculture and the

food

production industry and an increase in earning income for dwellers and leading to a reduction in unemployment rates.

For example

, European governments buying all the meals they need from inside the public caused the unemployment rate to have a sharp decline in recent decades.

In addition

,

food

that is

produced inter the

country

definitely is fresher and cheaper than those of produce in other nations. The high transportation fee and taxes on imports and the long distance between producers and consumers result in increasing the price of foreign goods and reducing their quality of them .

In contrast

, some people claim that importing meals from other places is beneficial.They insist that ,

while

agriculture depends on weather

as well as

soil conditions, it is not possible for a

country

to grow all types of crops.

For instance

, the apple requires cold weather to grow and in semi-desert ,areas it is not ,

thus

no other option is left for them, they have to import it from other apple-producing land.

However

, I do not find

this

argument convincing as, nowadays by developing technology, manufacturers are able to produce types of artificial fruits and vegetables in all conditions. In conclusion, I completely agree that countries should supply all their

food

production from the inside, owing to freshness and cheapening and providing more job opportunities.
