Suppose you work for Lincoln farms, a Nebraska based company that produces two goods: Fertilizers and Pesticides. These two goods are produced locally but exported to several firms in Guyana which uses both goods in their production of Agricultural goods. Suppose further that due to recent policy changes that have to do with waste disposal and pollution, producing these two goods in Nebraska is substantially more expensive, so much so that the bosses at your company are considering moving the production of these goods to two potential countries: Panama and Benin Republic. Upon recalling that you had mentioned during your job interview that you had taken an International Economics class in college, they call on you to advise them on the best way to approach this. You are provided the following information from the company's research team.
