I think this is a good one though, it does not make sense to buy what you already have from other countries. Let's support and grow ourselves. Then again people buy things from other countries due to their quality. If the homemade products can work more on their quality, then i believe people will be more comfortable buying locally made products.

This is a good policy. I believe it would create more job opportunities for people in the country.

Yeah that's the whole essence. We need to grow our own and try to expand our local industries
