====Specialization, production efficiency and regional differences====
Local production may require [[knowledge transfer]], [[technology transfer]] and may not be able to compete in efficiency initially with [[Division of labor |specialized]], established industries and businesses, or in consumer demand without policy measures such as [[eco-tariff]]s. Regional differences may cause specific regions to be more suitable for a specific production, thereby increasing the advantages of specific trade over specific local production. Forms of local products that are highly localized may not be able to meet the efficiency of more large-scale, highly consolidated production in terms of efficiency, including environmental impact.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}
