In many countries today, everyday necessities like food and petrol have become very expensive. What factors may have caused this situation and what, in your opinion, can/should be done about it?

In

this

present world, the consumption of

food

and

petrol

has become very expensive to fulfil everyday necessities. In my opinion, the primary reasons for these problems are

countries

failing to produce local products and lack of alternatives.

This

essay will explain what might caused

this

situation with relevant examples and what should be done to tackle

this

problem.

Firstly

, many

countries

who could not be independent to produce their own necessities might rely on their supply to other

countries

.

For example

,

at the end

of 2022, the

price

of Indonesian fertilizers surged when the Russia-Ukraine conflict occurred.

This

is because Russia stopped exporting their fertilizers to other

countries

and unfortunately, the majority of

dramatically.

As a consequence

, up until now, the fertilizer

price

in

Indonesia

remains expensive because

Indonesia

failed to balance their supply and demand.

Secondly

, lack of alternatives for certain

food

and

petrol

could be another reason why the

price

become very expensive.

For instance

, the type of fuel that most

consume is gasoline, which is not renewable. The production of gasoline keeps on decreasing each day because of the increase in

Indonesia

's population which could lead to

energy

scarcity. To suppress its demand, the

government

imposed a tax to secure the

energy

source because they did not have any option to substitute gasoline. In my opinion,

government

legislators should create persuasive regulations to solve

this

problem. As an illustration, the

government

could give endowment by creating a competition for young entrepreneurs

government

should amend the regulation of

is because the

countries

might not be independent in producing their own products and failed to explore

substitutes. After a thorough analysis of

this

subject, it is predicted that

government

regulations play a pivotal role in arousing public awareness

such

as creating business competition endowments and supporting renewable

vehicles by giving subsidization to their residents.
