Foods from all over the World

Nowadays, due to the improvements in transportation, every product can be imported by train, air or shipping. Food is one category amongst many others. Million tons of food are being carried everyday throughout the world. Even though we have a wide range of agricultural products in Turkey, 25% of nutrition need in Turkey is being met by imported foods. To be able to import so much food from all over the world is a great opportunity for the following reasons.

First of all, the nutrition is more healthy now. People used to eat what they have and those nutritions were not as good as the imported ones. Due to the fact that we can easily import foods from everywhere, we have a better selection of foods in our refrigerators. For example, exotic fruits that can not be produced in Turkey are now available. However, the manufacturers in Turkey have started to revise their products and take them to a better quality.

Moreover, people have the access to a wider range of food now. Due to the fact that carrying food is no longer an issue and it is getting cheaper day by day, people can enjoy the variety of foods from all over the world. For instance, we are drinking coffe from Cuba or eating italian pizzas.

On the other hand, imported food is not cheap. Even though the cost of the imported products are not that high, even cheaper than the native products, the taxes are really high on them, including imported foods. One can havea Turkish food at a lower price than the imported one.

To sum up with, even though it is expensive, people can eat whatever they want. The origin of the food is not important anymore. So people can eat better food and have access to a wider range of food which makes the imported food very beneficial for the society.
