Question
"Globalisation has been advantageous to consumers as well as to producers." Support the statement with suitable examples.
Solution
Globalisation has benefitted the producers and the consumers in the following ways:

ii) With the initiation of globalisation, producers now have relatively free access to international markets. Also, they can now avail more easily of the credit facilities forwarded in terms of capital and technology.
iii) This is illustrated by the example of the electronic goods and garments industry. The process of globalisation has benefitted both the producers and consumers in these fields.
