Supermarkets should only sell food produced within their own country. What are your opinions about it?

Nowadays, tremendous advancements in technology and supply chains lead to creating

further

possibilities.

For example

, the import and export of various products to and from all over the world.

Hence

, if going to a supermarket, you see certainly an imported product. It is said that merely domestic products should be sold in stores. There are good arguments for and against

this

statement, and I believe that it depends on some factors. In

this

essay, I will discuss both sides of the argument. To a certain extent, I agree that people should purchase

foods

that are produced in their

country

. Within a

country

, there are numerous people who work as employees in a plethora of food factories. In order to profit, these factories need to have good sales. If we do not purchase from them, they will go bankrupt. Not only that, when

this

trend continues, the manager may lay off staff, leading to an increase in the unemployment rate.

Consequently

,

this

has irreparable consequences for society,

such

as poverty or even crime.

Therefore

, stores should sell local

foods

as much as possible

However

, some

foods

we consume may not be found in our

country

.

This

is

due to

climate conditions or geographical location.

For example

, saffron , which is grown in Iran, needs a tropical climate to grow;

therefore

, it cannot be grown in cold regions. Another example is Switzerland which does not have access to the sea or river; alternatively, the cocoa plant grows naturally in

this

area only.

Thus

, we do not have all of the

foods

in our

country

, and we have to buy imported

foods

.

Hence

, various measures should be taken by the government so that import only the

foods

that are not available inside the county

To conclude

, it is said that only foodstuffs should be sold in the stores that are produced in our

country

.

According to

this

statement, we only can consume the

foods

that are produced in the

country

;

otherwise

, we cannot taste the

foods

that do not grow in the

country

.

Furthermore

, we should prioritize the purchase of domestically produced products so that we support the employees who work in the

country

. In my opinion,

this

sentence cannot be generalized, and it depends on what the item is.
