They will be operated with a profit motive as opposed to a public service motive; jobs may be lost as cost cuts are looked for to increase profits; loss making services maybe closed down; they may end up as monopolies, keeping prices high.

Does privatization necessarily benefit stakeholders in the economy of your country?

Having been a resident in both China and Canada, I have a view on both types of political systems and economies. My general answer is no because of how your question is worded. The keyword is "necessarily". If we were to prove that something is necessarily true, it is virtually impossible. As discussed in the "Black Swan", such a conception can be disproven by one example of negation. Yet we cannot be absolutely sure that there is no case to the contrary in the entire world since we cannot examine every possible situation. Privatization, although in my opinion, greatly increases work efficiency and economic output in general, do not "necessarily" benefit every stakeholder.


What are possible disadvantages of a perfectly competitive industry or firm?

No scope for economies of Scale, this is because there are many small firms producing relatively small amounts. Industries with high fixed costs would be particularly unsuitable to perfect competition. This is one reason why Perfect Competition is unlikely in the real worldUndifferentiated products is boring giving little choice to consumers. Differentiated products are very important in industries such as clothing and cars.Lack of super-normal profit may make investment in Research & Development unlikely this would be important in an industry such as pharmaceuticals which require significant investmentWith perfect knowledge there is no incentive to develop new technology because it would be shared with other companies.If there are externalities in production or consumption there is likely to be market failure without govt intervention.


What is relationship between agriculture industry and trade?

Relation among Agriculture, Trade and Industry: Many industries running in Nepal are based on agriculture. Such industries are dependent on the raw materials that come from agriculture sector. The examples are sugar industry from sugarcane, jute industry from jute, cotton factory from cotton, leather industry from animal skin, tea factory from tea leaves, etc. To run these industries, raw materials are made available from the agriculture sector. Agriculture tools like spade, plough, etc are produced in the industries. Increased production in agriculture is made possible by the use of these tools. Other items including chemical fertilizers and insecticides are made available by industries. We can have increased agriculture production through appropriate use of agriculture tools, chemical fertilizers and insecticides. Similarly generator needed for irrigation is produced and supplied by industry. Therefore, there is mutual relationship between agriculture and industry. Agriculture and industry can be promoted through mutual relationship between these two. More than 80% of the people of Nepal are involved in agriculture. Over 50% of the national income and over 40% of national production comprise agriculture. So, it is necessary to develop more and more agro-based industries in Nepal. Agro-based industries utilize the raw materials available from agriculture like tea leaves, sugarcane, cotton, oil seeds, milk, etc. There are many such industries in Nepal. Agriculture and industries are like two sides of a coin. They are inter-dependent. Agriculture provides agricultural raw materials to the industries and industries produce manufactured or finished products from those raw materials. Thus, we have seen that without agricultural raw materials, agro-based industries cannot run. The development of agro-based industries depends upon the availability of agricultural raw materials. The quality and quantity of agricultural raw materials also depend upon industries
