Let's face it. It's easier to produce something domestically than import it. This doesn't mean autarky is great, it's an awful idea for any state wanting to be a trade hub. But for one trying to keep a balanced budget or at least not blow up fiscally, import substitutions are a great way to do that and equally promote domestic economic growth and jobs. As such, the goal is to create a domestic manufacturing industry. Obviously Gaduridos won't and can't become a workshop of the world or even of Seleya. And that's okay.
But, it doesn't mean that Gaduridos can't have its own domestically produced manufactured goods. For example, construction equipment. No point importing steel beams, pipes, industrial fitting and metal roofing when we possess the means to domestically produce them. Or agricultural equipment. As such, Gaduri Firms should be supported in producing these goods as every domestic manufacturing job locally, helps the wider economy. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Steel mills for example if placed near pipe manufacturing, machine part production, freight yards or construction material production can easily turn into its own self sustaining ecosystem. One steel plant can easily support several other industries. The goal simply needs to be domestic manufacturing. It can be making the aforementioned equipment or simply assembling imported goods. The manufacturing industry simply needs to get on its feet first before the government can look at anything else.
The establishment of a basic manufacturing industry can eventually pave the way for a more robust industry that can promote more middle class growth and wage growth, and ultimately wider economic growth. And economic growth means more revenue for the state, which means more funding for state programs and social programs. A win win. But, it must be balanced. Rushing headfirst into it will only cause more economic harm.
