It is true
that there are a lot of more products imported by foreign countries in the domestic
market than before. Some people argue that they can provide more opportunities
to experience exotic products. However, others claim that people have to
consume internal crops more because it can help domestic farmers financially.
On the one
hand, there are some people arguing that with the market-opening all over the
world, we can enjoy eating original product from other countries. This is
because there are some crops which can be grown up in particular state, which
means that other countries have to import these products from that country.
Take the example of the Kiwi fruits. Until several decades ago, this fruits had
been highly expensive and precious food in Korea because all of the Korean
farmers were not willing to cultivate this exotic fruits due to the unsuitable
temperature and soil. However, by importing these special ones, we can finally
purchase and eat them any supermarket in Korea.(오프토픽)
On the other
hand, other people claim that the government should have more control on the trade of
external agriculture products and also people have to consume more domestic crops. To
be more precise, because of the lower-price agricultural products from the
overseas, people more prefer imported products than domestic ones, and national
farmers experience severe financial problems. Moreover, if this condition
continued for a long time, it would probably hit the local agricultural market,
and also we could lose our exotic food someday. For instance, in the old days,
national rice products accounted for the Korea food market. However, owing to
the other countries' rice, especially America, nowadays we can barely see the
domestic rice in the Korea supermarket. So, many farmers and citizens are
trying to revive the consumption of local rice products.
In
conclusion, both views have their strong points. However, it seems that the
latter view is more convincing because of not to lose the exotic local food and
to help national farmers' lives.
