These trade routes not only facilitated the movement of goods, but also the movement of people and ideas. Later on, trading interests attracted various trading companies such as the East India Company got attracted towards India. Thus, foreign trade creates opportunities for producers to reach beyond the domestic markets and compete in markets located in other countries of the world. Similarly, the buyers have more choices of goods, beyond domestically produced goods. With the opening of trade, goods travel from one market to another and choices of goods in the markets rises. Prices of similar goods in the two markets tend to become equal. And, producers in the two countries compete against each other even though they are separated by thousands of miles. Thus, foreign trade results in connecting the markets or integration of markets in different countries.
