Trading possibility curve

trading possibility curve
shows how an economy can 
benefi t from specialising and trading. For example, a country 
may be able to produce a maximum of 50 million units of 
clothing or 100 million units of food. For every 1 unit of 
clothing it produces it gives up the opportunity to produce 
2 units of food. Engaging in international trade may enable 
the country to specialise in clothing production and import 
three units of food for every unit of clothing it exports.

KEY TERM
In this case, trading will increase the total quantity of 
products the country can consume. If the country had 
initially produced 40 million units of clothing, the maximum 
output of food it could produce would be 20 million units. 
If, however, it engages in international trade, it can specialise 
in clothing production making 50 million units of clothing. 
It can export 10 million units of clothing in exchange for
