SEC-S15W4:I LOVE LOCAL PRODUCTS

Good day everyone, Hope everyone is doing just fine?
First of all in this contest of local product I will start by explaining what local product is all about. Local product are product that are produced, fixed,prepared or processed including the way is being presented that is packaged. This include food, fabrics, plastic and so many others.

• SHARE YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IN
  LOVING LOCAL PRODUCTS, WHAT FASCINATE
  AND CONNECT YOU TOWARDS THEM.

The reason I feel so drawn to local product especially food product is because its simple to get and it those not require any large scale equipment in processing them, the mode of presentation packaging and many others. For example you can just go straight to the farm and get your product just like groundnut, firewood, pepper,garlic ginger and many others most of these food ingredients has nutritional benefits.

EXPLAIN THE BENEFITS AND POSITIVE 
IMPACT OF  SUPPORTING LOCAL PRODUCT.

The benefit and positive impact of me supporting local product is that it promotes the market growth of the community, it makes my neighbors feel happy as I seat and enjoy the food product they produces and it encourages them to produce more of that product for others to buy and enjoy. And the health benefits of local product over foreign product include:
1.cost of transportation is low within the area were the product is.
2.local product are often fresh

1. Cheap

2. And mostly does not need any preservation such as sodium benzoate that is added to beverages for preservation.

   NAME ONE OR TWO LOCAL PRODUCT IN YOUR
   AREA, AND EXPLAIN WHY TOURIST OFTEN
   LOOK FOR IT.
