+# Seed-Time and Harvest Metaphor
+
+## Definition
+
+A agricultural analogy used to explain the long-term benefits of foreign trade, comparing the initial export of goods (seed-time) to planting crops that will yield greater returns later (harvest), thus justifying what might appear to be a short-term loss of precious metals.
+
+## Source Chapter
+
+Book IV, Chapter 1
+
+## Context
+
+Smith quotes or paraphrases a merchant's argument that foreign trade should be evaluated by its long-term results rather than immediate appearances. The metaphor effectively counters the mercantile fear of exporting precious metals by showing how initial outflows can produce greater inflows through profitable re-exports.
