Why do people import goods instead of buying in their own country?

Because some things cannot be bought or 'found' in every country. Each country is known for the specific goods they have or grow in their country. For example... Bananas come from Jamaica and Africa; you dont see plantains growing on the tree(s) in your garden in the UK do you! Also they import curry from countries like Pakistan and especially India. All the spices dry up and are crushed in the backyards of houses in India. Where do you think the poppadoms you get from Asda come from..?! And the snails we find on the floors and in forests here in the UK come from the sewage; I'll explain... when French people eat snails at home or in their dads' restaurants' they have to excrete it! they excrete it out in their toilets and the sewage system leads to forests in the UK, which means that snails and slugs enter the UK/Britain.. this is why we find snails and slugs on our grounds; they dont die,, the French people eat the while they're still alive...!!!

What is a import and export?
Importing is when a specific country brings in products from another country. eg: US gets a Japanese item from Japan. Exporting is when a specific country gives away there local products to another country for trade. eg: US gives Petroleum to another country. A lot of people mix these two terms. The simplest way to remember is to practice both export and import. Export is selling and/or shipping different types of products abroad, out of the country where you live. This means that you create your business on international level and join the worldwide trade. Import is an opposite trade action. This means you buy products from other countries. As a result they are shipped to your home country for you to use them.

Why Indian politicians are greedy unconcious about their country and people?
There is no educational requirement for becoming a minister in the state legislature or in the Parliament.
