Many supermarkets are selling more and more products that are imported from other countries instead of selling food that is locally sourced. What are the reasons for this? Is this a positive or negative development?

Many supermarkets nowadays are selling more imported
products
instead
of domestic
products
. The
reasons
for
this
tendency will be mentioned in
this
essay and I believe that
this
is a negative development. There are various
reasons
why many supermarkets are selling more imported
products
from other nations.
Firstly
, imported
products
may have a higher quality compared with goods that are locally sourced.
In other words
, some processed food produced in other countries may have a higher quality
due to
their advanced technology in manufacturing.
Furthermore
, some renowned
products
such
as Coca-Cola or Pepsi would be easier to buy since it is cheaper
as well as
their reputation.
Thus
, buying imported
products
may increase their profit in general.
However
,
this
development could be negative for many
reasons
.
Firstly
, local businesses would have fewer consumers which affects negatively their income and ability to reinvest in production,
as a result
of the financial problems of small domestic businesses.
Furthermore
, the nation's economy would be more dependent on other countries since they accounted for a large segment of selling
products
.
This
could impact an individual's patriotism since they use more and more imported
products
that may be easier to be affected by other cultures.
For example
, the young generation in Vietnam preferred to buy Coca-Cola
instead
of Xa xi (a local soft drink in Vietnam) since they believed that it could be better in quality. In conclusion, there are several mentioned
reasons
why many supermarkets have
this
tendency,
however
, it is undeniable that selling more and more
products
that are imported from other countries would be a negative development
due to
several mentioned clues.
