Foreign trade integrates the market in different countries because
- Foreign trade creates an opportunity for the producers to reach beyond the domestic markets.
- Producers can sell their produce not only in markets located within the country but also can compete in markets located in other countries of the world.
- Similarly for the buyer's import of goods produced in another country is one way of expanding the choice of goods beyond what is domestically produced.
- Choice of goods in the markets rises.
- Prices of similar goods in the two markets tend to become equal.
- Producers in the two countries now closely compete against each other.
