Answer to New Zealand economy is New Zealand made.

Secondly, New Zealand has small economic scale with small population but with some competitive technological skills in hi-tech industries. It is not easy for New Zealand to produce cheaper goods than those countries which concentrate on the labour-oriented economic system. However, it has competitive power in IT. So it is better for New Zealand to produce hi-tech products and country with a concentrated labour-oriented economic system to manufacture cheap goods.

Conversely, if most products could be manufactured in New Zealand, the price of good will drop hugely. The reason why the same goods in New Zealand are much more expensive than those in other countries is because New Zealand is very far from most of the countries around the world. Despite the advance of technology in transport, it is impossible to reduce the price of fuel and this means, the more distance the goods needs to travel, the more fuel price and transportation price should be spent. But if New Zealand can manufacture most of the products, reduction in transportation fee will reflect on the price of the goods. The drop in price of goods means better economy for New Zealanders. In this case, buying NZ made means the better life of NZ citizens. However, it is not possible to make it come true in the near future because of the reasons mentioned above.

Last but not least reason that New Zealand should not try to go to New Zealand made scheme is because if New Zealand wants to produce cars or heavy industry products, New Zealand would have to throw away their clean and green/ 100% pure New Zealand scheme. This means that tourism will decrease and dairy products wouldn’t be as good as it used to be since land grazing land would be replaced with industry and cattle would be feed on forage full of antibiotics and chemicals just to make them fat and keep them alive. If New Zealand fail to sustain these two things the affect it will give in New Zealand economy will be catastrophic. So, for New Zealand to grow to be a country with strong economy, New Zealand must use what they got from God: most spectacular natural scenery and world’s cleanest environment, for some New Zealand is referred to as the ‘last paradise on Earth’. New Zealand should try to maximize tourism and improve dairy and farming product and advertise their outstanding quality products to the world market.

In conclusion, I believe ‘New Zealand economy is New Zealand made’ is not a good idea. It would be better to find something New Zealand is good at and trade with other countries rather than making everything themselves. The globalization made it impossible to survive without trade and small population in New Zealand does not suit for industrialization. Despite the advantage in price of goods, New Zealand could not afford to lose their 100% pure New Zealand scheme. The advantage New Zealand has than other country is their excellent natural environment, so New Zealand must use it to make strong economy.
