Buying food in a
supermarket
 is a basic human need. Nowadays, the stuff sold at the
supermarket
 is diverse in terms of the source—not only local
products
 but
also
 imported

this

This
 condition will have many detrimental effects on the local
company
. The first impact is the retirement of the employees. As the
company
 does not manufacture many

, they do not need many employees. It means that the employer may retire their staff because the

Moreover
,
this
 decrease may cause a
company
 to collapse. If
this
 happens many negative effects occur,
for example
, no tax income for the government. Another drawback that may occur is the colonialization of economics by other countries. When the local

As a result

This
 trend implicitly means other countries have colonized us because we are the consumers of their
products
.
