Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The restriction on the amount of cement, fertilizer, and fuel is an example of an import quota, which limits the quantity of goods that can be imported into a country. This measure is often implemented to protect domestic industries from foreign competition and to prevent workers from being laid-off due to foreign imports. Embargoes are a complete ban on imports or exports, protective tariffs are taxes levied on imported goods, and subsidies are financial assistance given by the government to domestic industries.
