Many nations have rules controlling the production of food for their inhabitants. Almost all of the countries around the world suggest reducing food which is obtained for other country. This topic is a current issue that many politicians debate since it has advantages and disadvantages. Besides the advantages of the import system such as it may give the nation’s people easier to fulfill their needs. In contrast, the food import system is more likely effect to the farmers.
The availability of food for each nation is very diverse. This is the main reason that the food source of one country to another is different. The nation has a responsibility to make sure that its population fulfills their needs and obtains nutritious food. In this matter, the example is, no other nation, it is in my home country, Indonesia. For over a decade Indonesia imported wheat from another country because we did not have land that could produce that crop. In this case, it has an advantage for indonesia’s people to eat food from wheat-based like noodles, and bread.
On the other hand, there is a disadvantage to import the food, especially for the farmers. As we know the majority of Indonesians are farmers. Whether nations do not have control regarding this matter, it will collapse their income. As the result, the number of poor people will increase. Way more, the country has a negative impact in terms of income case too.
In conclusion, the amount of variety food that is limited in the country could be replaced by food imported from overseas, with importing food people have wider access to the food. However, I agree that nations that have over-imported food will negatively affect the economy of farmers.
