in a era globalization, there is a free market or global market..so every company from other nation can sell their product in other nation..now, we often see many import products with many kinds of goods..if we use import product, the government said we did not love our country, because if we buy import products we are not pay the tax for our nation. beside that local product is not good in quality..now the government is limit the import products to develop local product...one way, people visit the other nations for holiday and refreshing reasons to but the other nation's products..with this problem, which you select..import or local products?

I know that when i buy at stores 90% of what Im buying is not local...if not 100%. But i do like to buy local whenever I can. Farmers markets are great for that, and some areas even have a dairy that's local such as where i live. We try to buy from them as often as possible. We believe that if a community has local businesses we should be supporting them as much as possible before we start buying at the big business chains. it may be a little more but it keeps the area competitive.
