The government has just announced a free trade deal with the United Kingdom, saying it will boost New Zealand's GDP by $1 billion and provide unprecedented access for New Zealand exporters to the UK market.
All tariffs on New Zealand exports to the UK are to be removed, including on honey, wine, kiwifruit, onions, a range of dairy and meat products, and most industrial products.
There will be also increased access for beef and sheep meat.
It is just the second Free Trade Agreement the United Kingdom has signed since its withdrawal from the European Union.
