Orientation of international trade

UP to this point the analysis has been focused on the production problem, which is the major issue for most countries. Although with a few exceptions most counrrics import or export only a small proportion of their food supplies, it does not follow that each individual country should aim at ultimate self-sufficiency. But while programming for expansion of supplies for domescic consumption is a practical possibility, it is more difficult to program production for export, where so many decisive factors are outside the control of the exporting country. The establishment of quantitative goals in foreign trade is far less common than the establishment of production goals.

Sustainable Development Goals:

No Poverty

Responsible Consumption and Production

Decent Work and Economic Growth
