well,There are various reasons for existing trade. Different labor are responsible for different work because they specialize in that area of work and many people who focus themselves on those small area of production and then sell their product for different item traded from different area. These trades which occur for any reason for any product all contribute to the developing economy for that place.
From earlier days you will notice that trading has been an important aspect for the area. In older day's trade used to be in exchange for any other good which was deficient in one area. In today's world we see money for trade. Even during Stone Age there has been proof for trade.
There are evidence of long route trades which were developed in the third millennium, b.c Then the Sumerians who were the people of Mesopotamia used to trade with Harappan people who lived in the Indus valley. The sea traders were the Phoenicians had routes over the Mediterranean Sea had well developed trading colonies in many parts of the European continent.
Above information states the sure existence of the trading present in earlier times. Today trading is offered on various items other than commodities like stock markets, and the foreign currency, and different markets which offer trade for different items. The most acknowledges market in the present time is the commodity market trade.
If you have an idea of the product which is traded then you will understand trading well. Karl max mentions that any external object though its quality satisfies any human needs of any kind. commodities according to him is about the physical aspect of that item and he further explains by associating it with use value for that object. Hence commodity trading is the future most done trading.
To explain you how commodity trading works lets for example consider yourself as a wealthy farmer. So this rich farmer which is you for instance, will be able to sell a contract for future on his rice even when the rice would not be harvested for longer time. Rich farmer will be assured that the set correct price will be granted on delivery of the product. This way the client is also sure of getting a good product when harvested and also the price will be fixed and could not be changed by either parties.
