The Finance Minister is hopeful that New Zealand's exports will grow significantly over the next ten years.
If reelected, National says it will pursue trade negotiations with Brazil, Switzerland, Argentina, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Uruguay and the European Free Trade Association.
It would seek talks with a further six trading nations over the next decade.
Nicola Willis says it's likely there will be more demand for New Zealand-made products over the years as the market grows and changes.
"If you'd asked me 20 years ago - what will China buy from us? I probably wouldn't have predicted some of the products that they now buy from us. I wouldn't have said that they would be an importer of our wine, that they would be such a massive importer of dairy products."
