Trade is the lifeblood of our economy. We are a small nation. The reality is, as a small nation, we can't and we shouldn't make all the products, so we make the products that we specialise in and we sell them to the world. Other countries make products that they specialise in and they sell them to the world. If we didn't have free and open trade across the world, countries the size of New Zealand would really struggle. Our standard of living would be nowhere near where it is at the moment.
