World trade
• One of the main reasons for world trade is because different countries have an advantage over others through the ownership of natural resources.
• Other countries have learnt to specialise in certain skills that they can use to trade from.
![Page 11: 02 why does-the-world-trade](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f4c36b4c905423f8b4e07/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Price
![Page 12: 02 why does-the-world-trade](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f4c36b4c905423f8b4e07/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Price
• Some countries can produce goods relatively cheaper than others.
• Again this is due to specialisation & availability of resources.
![Page 13: 02 why does-the-world-trade](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f4c36b4c905423f8b4e07/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Do you think the UK has sweatshops?
• Primark!
• And then there are the ‘real’ sweatshops’… in India

Product Differentiation
![Page 15: 02 why does-the-world-trade](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f4c36b4c905423f8b4e07/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Which country would you

Product differentiation
• Many countries produce similar goods but the specifications & quality differ!
• Think bottles of wine!

Political Reasons
![Page 18: 02 why does-the-world-trade](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f4c36b4c905423f8b4e07/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Political reasons
• Sometimes countries do not trade with each other for political reasons
• Eg US v Cuba
