Many countries import a large amount of food from other parts of the world.

Is this a
positive or negative development?

The import industry is becoming more active than ever, a significant of foodstuffs produced in
other regions has been imported by a number of nations. In my opinion, I believe that this is a
positive trend but with some serious concerns when a country depend too much on another one.

To start with, the more imported foodstuffs, the wider range of choice customers have. People
nowadays are able to enjoy food delicacies that are non-exist or cannot be produced in their
home country due to geographical or seasonal constrain. For instance, each year Singapore
imports millions-of-dollars worth of tropical foods such as mangoes or watermelons from
Vietnam to meet their domestic demand. Furthermore, when nutrition and health demands are
higher and higher day by day, businesses that wish to export their products to other nations must
compete fiercely to fulfill quality standards, resulting in higher product quality.

On the other hand, relying on the production of other countries will make the economy unstable
at any time. The exporting country always prioritize the consumption of their own citizens and
only distributing products after they meet local demand, which is why the importing country may
face the grim situation at the time of lower production season. Consequently, the nation could
face famine when an exporter seizes or lower international trade. In addition, the higher
consumption of exporting foods, the less consumption of internal food in each country, which
leads to the failure of domestic factories.

In conclusion, importing goods from other regions can have a tremendous benefits on living
grounds but at the same time it can affect the local manufacturing activities and economy.

Sample Essay:

The food importing industry has become more increasingly popular than ever. In my opinion, a
country is much benefited from importation as long as it does not rely too much on this
development

On the one hand, importing provides customers a wider range of food choices, or in other words,
people can enjoy food delicacies that are non-exist or unable to make locally due to geographical
& seasonal constraints. For instance, Singapore imports millions of dollars’ worth of tropical
foods unavailable in their land such as mangoes or watermelons from Vietnam to meet their
domestic demand. Furthermore, imported food might be of better quality for the locals. It is
because foreign business needs to fulfill a high qualified exporting standard for their products to
get imported when health & nutrition have been a concern for many and consumers become
pickier with everything

On the other hand, overdependence on other countries’ food production might lead the economy
to instability. First of all, since the exporting country always prioritizes the consumption of their
citizens and only distributing products after they meet local demand, the importing country may
face the grim situation of food shortage at the time of lower production season. These shortages
impact the economy by driving other social problems such as poverty, crimes happen, or forcing
the nation to bear higher costs from other food sources. Moreover, local farmers will be unable to
compete with the large international market and may stop local food production. The nation is
then forced to import even more food and faced with an increasing number of unemployed
people, a sign of an economic depression

In conclusion, importing food from other nations could bring tremendous benefits but at the
same time adversely affect the local manufacturing activities, and the economy as a whole
