yeah nah we'll believe it when we see it. Trade deals always sound good on paper then nothing changes for the little guys.
absolutely. My partner runs a small honey business and every 'big trade deal' just means more red tape for us.
Modi visiting after 40 years and it's all about wellness exports? What about the dairy industry? Farmers getting shafted again.
cynical mate. This could actually open doors for real people not just corporates if done right.
Love that Māori exports are getting a spotlight. Bout time we used our unique cultural capital properly.
ffs another politician flying in for photos. Just give us cheaper curry and get on with it.

Actually excited about this. I work in wellness and India's market is huge. Hope it's not just talk.
lol you must be new. Every trade deal is 'groundbreaking' until you read the fine print and it's all about multinationals.
40 year gap says it all. Both sides been asleep at the wheel. Now we're running after them cause we need trade.
stuffed. They'll package it, patent it, and sell it back to us at a premium. Seen it all before.
Modi's gonna sell us some snake oil vision while our local producers struggle. Seen this movie before.
You're wrong tbh. Working in the sector and there's real momentum. Even the big Indian wellness chains are looking our way.
Māori wellness is the one thing we've got that India can't replicate. Play that card right and we're laughing.
but at least they're mentioning indigenous knowledge. That's a step most countries don't even take.
