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

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.
