      •       Poverty
              - Most countries in the Southern hemisphere are poverty stricken. 
              - There is a growing gap between developed (countries of the North)
                 and developing countries (countries of the South). 
      •       Trade
              - Developed countries continue to subsidise production of their
                 agricultural goods, making it difficult for developing countries to
                 compete while insisting that developing countries eliminate their
                 tariffs on manufactured products. 
              - However, some developing countries like China, India and South
                 Korea use their comparative advantages to dominate trade in
                 certain aspects. 

INTRODUCTION

Import substitution is the replacement of previously imported goods by the domestic
production of goods.

BODY:
MAIN PART

Aims
-   To develop local industries 
-   Increase employment opportunities 
-   Improve South Africa's balance of payments 

STAGES OF IMPLEMENTATION

•   Imports of simple consumer goods, e.g. textiles and shoes, are replaced with
    domestic production. 
•   Domestic industries are created to replace a wider range of more sophisticated
    manufactured items. 

FORMS OF IMPORT SUBSTITUTION

•   Voluntary import substitution  – attempts by countries to develop their own
    industries as part of an economic development strategy  e.g. Iscor 

•   Forced import substitution  – certain countries are forced to produce certain
    goods because they are excluded from taking part in international trade through
    trade sanctions, boycotts and disinvestment. 

REASONS FOR IMPORT SUBSTITUTION

•   Diversification  is known as the expansion of manufacturing that will make
    countries less dependent on foreign countries and give them more control over
    their economies.

•   Protection of infant industry  – Small and medium industries need to be
    protected against well-established foreign companies that enjoy the full scale of
    economies of scale.

•   Trade  – Developing countries rely on natural resources as the basis for
    economic growth and development and export mainly minerals and agricultural
    produce. Growth could however accelerate if developing countries produce
    manufactured goods themselves. 

METHODS OF IMPORT SUBSTITUTION

•   Tariffs are customs duties / taxes on imported goods that may be ad valorem
    (percentage)  or specific (an amount per unit). 
•   The prices of imported goods will rise and shift the local demand to domestic
    production. 
•   Quotas  limit the supply of a good or service, it places a restriction on imports
    and reduces supply (prices go up) 
•   Subsidies  to protect domestic enterprises that export goods 
•   Exchange control – governments or free trade areas may limit the amount of
    foreign exchange made available for imports, investment or travelling abroad 
•   Physical control in the form of a complete ban or embargo on the imports of
    certain goods e.g. arms and drugs 
•   Diverting trade – measures that make it difficult to import from abroad are
    import deposits, time consuming customs procedures and quality standards 

ADVANTAGES OF IMPORT SUBSTITUTION

•   Easy to implement through the imposition of tariffs and quotas 
•   Industrial development is encouraged 
•   Employment opportunities increase 
•   A decrease in imports has a positive effect on the balance of payments

DISADVANTAGES OF IMPORT SUBSTITUTION

•   It does not necessarily lead to an overall reduction in imports.
•   South Africa had to import capital and intermediate goods to manufacture
    consumer goods.
•   Inefficient local production because local producers are shielded from international
    competition. 
•   Domestic consumers are forced to buy goods at higher prices on the international
    market, e.g. cellular phones, calculators, etc..
•   Costly and uneconomical projects are established. e.g. Mossgas 

REASONS FOR IMPORT SUBSTITUTION

•   Protection means high profits to protected industries, isolating them from
    competition and lowering their efficiency and development 
•   Protection does not advance industrialisation – backward linkages do not
    materialize 
•   Consumers often have to pay higher prices for goods of inferior quality from non-
    essential industries                                                     (Max. 26)

     a region spill over to other industries and areas. 
     (Examples of an integrated approach should focus on tourism, agriculture,
     etc.)
