In what way is this NWO?
Sounds quite normal to me.
The Mormon corporate empire has an enormous interest in this subject; they have much more power than the White house or the Pentagon over this issue. And there are secret cells withing the Vatican.

As of 1999, estimated annual revenues were $5.9 billion…
The asset estimates were presented in an appendix, which put total LDS assets as of 1999 "in the range of $25-30 billion"

Buying New Zealand apples in California isn’t normal. The only one who benefit is Big Oil. Destroying local economies is essential to the NWO.

What's not normal about free trade combined with advanced communications and transportation?
Also, how on earth are the international oil companies the only ones to benefit?
If this apple-exporting company didn't benefit, why are they bothering?

Why isn't it normal? If one region of the world is suitable for growing apples at a very efficient rate, why shouldn't a company be able to grow apples there and then transport them to a market across the globe? What's not normal about free trade combined with advanced communications and transportation?

Because more energy is used in the distribution (transportation) of the apples than the energy it provides to the consumer eating the apple. Despite New Zealand possibly having a comparative advantage in the production of apples, the distribution of the apples just isn't sustainable environmentally speaking.

I agree that they are not the only ones to benefit.

Luap, California is one of the world's biggest producers of produce. They are quite capable of growing their own apples. In fact, a huge area just north of San Francisco used to be nothing but apple orchards. But then California started importing apples from New Zealand. Now, there's no market for the local people other than roadside stands but that doesn't pay much. So, what's happened? All the apple orchards were taken out and replaced by vineyards, which that area now has way too much of. But the older farmers who grew apples are now out of business. Besides that, the cost of apples has risen quite a bit in Calif. now that they have to import their apples.
What's wrong with it? Quite simply, it puts the local growers out of business and increases the price of imported apples to consumers in California. After all, someone has to pay for the cost of the oil to transport the apples from New Zealand.

All of these NAFTA, CAFTA, etc. type programs are worldwide and are organized by one group of people who plan to make the world accept one govt. worldwide, IMO, but that's just speculation on my part. The rest of what I said is fact.
