can you reword this paragraph?
Voluntary export restraint (VER) is really a restriction upon on quantity of goods which an exporting nation can export to another country. VER is self-imposed on the exporting country. As for Ghana, this country is importing food, which is an agriculturally inclined country. This means that there is something lacking with the agriculture sector if Ghana is not even able to meet the needs of its citizens’ demand. Voluntary export restraint (VER) is a type of non-tariff barriers to trade. It could be the outcome of requests made by the importing country to provide a measure of protection for its domestic businesses producing competing goods. And this is what the government of Ghana has done. VER also would temporarily increase jobs for domestic workers in the agricultural sector. Protection from VER encourages domestic producers to recruit locally. Security from foreign exchange decreases productivity in the long run. Without competition, it is not important for producers to innovate. Eventually, the domestic product would fall in quality and be more costly than that produced by international competitors. Therefore, VER could improve efficiency in the short run, but will become inefficient in the long run.
