Nowadays, the
importation
 of diverse
food
 items has become seamless across nations. I contend that the demerits outweigh its merits.
Although
importation
 has brought about a rapid increase in the range of nutritious
foods
 and economic progression, the high cost of transportation and the rise of importing unhealthy
food
 is a cause for concern.
Firstly
, one of the most significant benefits of globalized
food
 trade is the increased availability of nutritious
foods
.
Therefore
,
this
 diversity allows people to gain access to a variety of fruits, vegetables, and other
foods
 that are not readily available in their country.
For Instance
, People in temperate climate environments can get access to
food
 and fruits which are not in their region.
In addition
,
food
importation
 can contribute to accelerating economic growth and development. By importing and exporting products, countries can create jobs, and generate increased revenue. Even though, the exorbitant cost of transporting these goods can lead to inflation.
On the other hand
, one of the drawbacks is the
importation
 of unhealthy
foods
. Processed
foods
 are processed with chemicals to increase their shelf life.
Therefore

 grave threat to life.
For instance
, many sardines in the local supermarket have rust and contain particular chemicals that cause cancer. Another drawback is the potential risk of
food
 insecurity, overdependence on imported
foods
 can make countries vulnerable to disruptions in the global supply chain,
such
 as those caused by natural disasters, political instability and economic crises.
Hence
,
this
 can lead to
food
 shortages and inflation for several countries that are vulnerable. In conclusion,
although
 there are plenty/numerous benefits of importing
food
 from abroad,
such
 as economic development,
an

 increase in the variety of

, its disadvantages
such
 as high costs of transportation,

 insecurity, and
importation
 of unhealthy
foods
, should be a cause of concern.
