Definition: Something that is exported
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look!
That dictionary definition – “Something that is exported” – it’s a tricky start, you see. It tells us
what
happens, but not
why
, or
how
it’s meant to be!
Let's break it down with a little rhyme:
“Export” means to send things out afar,
To other places, like a shining star!
Think of it this way – a farmer grows his wheat, so grand,
He sells some to another country, across the land.
That wheat is
exported
- taken away and sent,
A valuable good, diligently spent!
It’s about moving goods and services from one location to another.
Goods:
Like apples grown in Oregon bright, shipped to Japan for a tasty bite!
Services:
A company building software, selling it worldwide – that's an export too, you might find!
Does that make a little more sense? Do you have any questions about what "export" really means? Let’s discuss!
