Answer Text:
Disadvantages of trade restriction
-There will be availability of limited variety of goods in the country that will limit the consumer’s choices
-May lead to production of low quality goods as there will be no competition for the producing firms
-Other countries may also retaliate, leading to reduction in export from their country
-The country is likely to be exposed to small market, should all countries restrict which may lead to reduction in trade.
-As a result of the continued protection, some industries may develop a tendency of remaining young to still enjoy the protection, which limits the level of development
