Therefore, the global trading system ought to keep in mind that fairness should be maintained so that each nation is benefited in an optimum manner in accordance with what one deserves to. One factor, which is often debated, is that the distributive equity factor ought to help in the production growth of poor nations by facilitating sale of these manufactured goods in the domestic market as well as in the foreign markets.
