INTRODUCTI
ON
Import and export are key components of international trade, facilitating the
exchange of goods and services between countries. Import refers to the act of
bringing goods or services from a foreign country into one's own country,
while export involves sending goods or services produced domestically to
another country for sale or consumption.
Definition of Import: The process of bringing goods or services from a foreign

country into one's own country.
Definition of Export: The process of sending goods or services from one's own
country to a foreign country.
IMPORTANCE OF IMPORT AND
EXPORT IN GLOBAL TRADE
Import and export are of paramount importance in global trade, playing a
significant role in the economic development and prosperity of nations. Here
are some key reasons why import and export are crucial:
1.Access to Resources and Goods: Importing allows countries to access

resources, raw materials, and goods that may be scarce or unavailable
domestically. It ensures a steady supply of essential commodities, fuels
economic growth and supports various industries. Similarly, exporting enables
countries to utilize their own resources and expertise to meet the demands of
foreign markets, generating revenue and fostering economic development.
2.Market Expansion: Import and export activities facilitate market expansion

by connecting businesses to a broader customer base. Exporting enables
companies to diversify their sales beyond the domestic market, reducing
dependence on a single market and increasing resilience to economic
fluctuations. It opens up opportunities for growth, as businesses can tap into
larger markets and benefit from economies of scale.
REASONS FOR
IMPORTING AND
EXPORTING
Importing:
1.Access to Resources: Importing allows countries to

access resources and raw materials that are not
available or limited domestically.
2.Variety and Choice: Importing provides a wide range

of products and goods, offering consumers greater
variety and choice.
Exporting:
1. Market Expansion: Exporting allows businesses to

reach new markets and expand their customer base,
increasing sales and revenue.
2. Economic Growth: Exporting contributes to

economic growth by generating foreign exchange
earnings and stimulating domestic industries.
ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS
AND COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE
Economic competitiveness and comparative advantage are key concepts in
international trade that explain how countries can specialize in producing
certain goods or services more efficiently than others. Let's explore these
concepts:
1. Comparative Advantage:
• Comparative advantage refers to a country's ability to produce a specific

good or service at a lower opportunity cost compared to other countries.
• It is based on differences in resource endowments, technology, skills, and

production efficiency.
2.Economic Competitiveness:

compete effectively in global markets.

resources, quality standards, and the business environment.
