MAIN PART:

Supply reasons

 Natural resources 
   Are not evenly distributed across all countries of the world. 
   They vary from country to country and can only be exploited in places where these
    resources exist. 
 Climatic conditions 
   Certain crops only be cultivated in certain climatic conditions, countries that cannot
     produce have to import them. 
   It is possible for some countries to produce certain goods at a lower price
     than other countries e.g. Brazil is the biggest producer of coffee. 
   Good climatic conditions are essential for agricultural production. 

 Technological resources 
   Are available is some countries for them to produce certain goods services that
    enable them to produce at a low unit cost  e.g. Japan technology based products
    are produced. 
   Certain knowledge, skills and aptitude are required for the production of specific
    products. 
   For example, countries that do not have the technical abilities and knowledge on
    production processes for the manufacturing of machinery  and high-technology
    goods will have to import the machinery and goods. 
 Labour resources 
   Differ in quality, quantity and cost between countries. 
   Some countries have highly skilled, well-paid workers with high productivity levels
    e.g. Switzerland is well-known for its excellent watches. 
 Specialisation 
   A country can have an absolute advantage if it can produce a good or service or at
     most goods and services at lowest cost. 
   For example, Japan produces electronic goods and sells these at a low price. 

 ADDITIONAL PART

 How effective is international trade for South Africa?

  Due to specialisation South African textiles manufacturers cannot compete with
     Chinese producers and have had to close down. 
    This led to many workers to lose their jobs and will be addressed and managed
     by the government. 
    South Africa has more minerals that it can use but less oil than it needs. 
    Many SA companies try to establish themselves in African countries in order to
     secure the advantage of the spending power of millions of people. 
    Mass production should always lead to increased demand. 
    Producers are able to increase production efficiency  more domestic factors
     of production will be employed and a higher standard of living will
     materialise. 
    International trade is at the heart of globalisation  e.g trade in IT,
     communication and transport. 
    Expanded trade will stimulate more international trade. 
    Domestic economic growth follows with further increases in the standard of
     living. 

 ADDITIONAL PART:

 In your opinion, how successful is the South African government in
 providing the basic needs for disadvantaged people?

    The government provides many citizens of the country with social security
     grants, old age pension, child support grants and disability grants – a
     processs that is adapted annually to suit the needs of the population. 
    The government is very successful in paying benefits in kind, that included
     free water (6 000) litres per household) / free electricity (20 KwH) / and
     free housing (3 million units built since 1994) / as well as a school feeding
     scheme to about 270 000 primary school children. 
    Although services are rendered such as clean water, energy, sewerage
     system, storm water drainage, refuse removal, roads and housing to
     millions, inefficient municipalities fail everyone. 
    Free hospitalisation and medicine are offered to poor people as primary
     healthcare. It also includes free immunisation for all children.
    Many South Africans do experience a lack of service delivery at state
     hospitals where conditions are deteriorating. 
    Free education to the poorest 20% of communities  but serious
     problems in the education system still contributes to thousands of learners
     leaving the system without a proper degree of schooling. 

 warranted if it improves the smooth operations of markets. 
