How trade Began thousands of years , people produced most of what they needed themselves. They grew crops and hunted for food. However, they For

learned that they could have more goods if they traded with other countries . Groups of traders from Babylon travelled thousands of kilometers on camels in caravans. But because they had to carry food for themselves and their animals, there was little space for goods. For this reason, these traders carried small , valuable things like gold and diamonds.

Roman Times, trade became very important . The Romans traded with China and brought silk to

Europe. Roman ships also brought tin from Britain , wheat from Africa and jewellery from the East. After the Romans , there was less trade , but in the twelfth century , it increased again. The Italian cities of Venice and Genoa became the world's most important trade centres. From Venice, traders travelled to China, bringing back spices and silk. In the fourteenth century , Arab traders visited India and China.

During

the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries , global trade increased . Great traders from Spain and Portugal opened many new sea routes. Later,

European companies in America started exporting sugar , rice , potatoes and tobacco to Europe and importing expensive goods like silk and jewellery.

In today's global economy, it is easy to carry goods quickly and cheaply by air, road and railway. For more than a hundred years , world

trade has been increasing and , as the world becomes a smaller place, trade between countries will continue to increase.
