The food travels thousands of miles from farm to consumer. Some people think it would be better to our environment and economy if people only ate only locally produced food. What extent do the advantages outweigh the disadvantage?

Nowadays it is a common scenario that,
foods
 are imported from different sides of the world and consumed by
customers
. There are those who say that it would be better for the development of a
country
,
while
 others believe that local
foods
 and the economy are highly affected by these reasons. I presume that the benefit of
this
 precautionary action would surpass its drawback to a major extent. My position is elaborated
further
 with reasons and relevant examples. Examining the brighter side, the foremost
one
 is that
people
 all over the world can easily taste a variety of
food
.
Due to
 the improvement of globalization and good transportation systems
foods
 can easily transfer from
one
country
 to another within a short time.
For example
, Bangladeshi
people
 can taste different kinds of Kashmiri apples because they can easily be transported from India.
Moreover
, It has a good employment opportunity since import is
one
 kind of business. So many
people
 in our
country
 are involved with these businesses. It improves the
overall
 economy of the
country
.
Furthermore
,
This
 business might improve the relations between the countries. To justify my viewpoint, I would like to give an example of a survey which was conducted by the University of Dhaka. The survey revealed the findings that around 60% of different kinds of fruits are imported from abroad in Bangladesh. That means in

On the contrary

Besides

foods
 from
one
country
 to another. It omits fumes and wastages which pollute the
country
.
To conclude
, it can be said that there are both merits and demerits of importing
food
 for the
customers
.
However
, I believe that importing
food
 for
customers
 is more advantageous because it improves the purchasing capability of
customers
as well as
 drives the economy very well.
