Many people believe that countries should produce food for all population eats and import food as little as possible. To what extent do you agree of disagree?
In recent years, whether the countries ought to produce all kinds of food they eat and reduce imported food has become one of heated discussions of the public as well as the government. I believe that it has much benefits not only boosting the countries’ economy situation but also the citizens who inhabit can enjoy high quality foods. In this essay, the reasons of my belief will be elaborated.
First of all, increasing the part of producing food in their countries has many potential economic benefits such as creating jobs in the agriculture department. As the development of agriculture, it needs many labors to develop farms and maintain the system. As a result, creating jobs may increase economic profits and activate cities’ economy in rural areas.
Secondly, people can enjoy fresh food products in lower price. Imported foods are usually more expensive than domestic foods because of the additional taxes. Moreover, it takes more time to bring in so the freshness is decreased. Domestic foods take less time and it reduces delivery fee. These days, since the development of the technology, it has become available that growing plants everywhere even it was not suit for there conditions in the past. As a result, the government should promote to produce the foods within the country to reduce the price and provide fresh food products.
To sum up, whether the government should reduce imported food and encourage to produce in their countries has become a center of debatable issues these days. I believe that reducing imported foods can make a profit of rural areas and activate regional economy and citizens also can enjoy fresh foods in cheap prices.
