Benefits of international trade include the ability of countries to exchange what they have and can produce at a comparative advantage for goods and services that they lack. International trade is good for businesses because it allows them to maximize their production resources and may lead to economies of scale. Increased competition in the global marketplace can help to keep prices down, which is good for consumers. In addition, consumers benefit from the increase in choices. Factors that contribute to international trade include improved transportation and communication, which makes it possible, for example, to grow food in one part of the world and deliver it for consumption in another.
