4. Specialization and tradeWhen a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than itstrading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods.The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFS) for Freedonia and Desonia. Both countries produce potatoes and coffee, eachinitially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 12 million pounds of potatoes and 6 million pounds of coffee, as indicated by the grey starsmarked with the letter A.COFFEE (Millions of pounds)3228243220281624820016120Freedonia has a comparative advantage in the production ofproduction ofcomparativepotatoes.0Suppose thatadvantage.
