International trade may confer a number of benefits upon those nations which participate in it:
• consumers gain access to a wider range of products
• consumers are able to buy imports more cheaply than from domestic producers
• there is an overall increase in consumer welfare
• producers gain access to wider markets
• specialisation and trade (based on absolute and comparative advantage) creates a more efficient use of resources and an increase in welfare.
