When a country can produce a product more cheaply than its trading partners, it is known as: comparative advantage
For example, United States often imported exotic fruits from Brazil. Since Brazil is a tropical country, the cost in producing exotic fruits will be significantly lower compared to growing it in the United States. Therefore, we can say that brazil has a comparative advantage in this product compared to united states.
