I remember one of my old professors telling us about apples in Chiba that are individually wrapped as they grow on the tree!
I thought that he was just joking until I went to Chiba and saw them for myself...

Protectionism just hurts the locals. Japanese Rice and Computers are cheaper in Hawaii then in Japan. The Japanese who look for Japanese rice are shocked when they see the price. They realize the goverment has been soaking them.

Free trade agreements only benefit big business. While the worlds get cheap goods the locals suffer and struggle to compete.
