Unless you're asking why Jedi were specifically chosen for the negotiations with the Trade Federation, this is a "general reference" question which is indeed addressed in the film itself. If we had "general reference" as a close reason here (as some other sites do) I'd imagine this question would be closed.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Invasion_of_Naboo
Valorum and the Council dispatched two Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, to meet with the Federation Viceroy and ensure the Federation's withdrawal from the system.
Basically, they were doing what Jedi ALWAYS did - serving as diplomats and conflict resolution negotiators. They were acting in their official capacity as Ambassadors for Supreme Chancellor Valorum (from the TPM script):
CAPTAIN : ... the Ambassadors for the Supreme Chancellor wish to board immediately.
The reason they were sent to talk was because the blockade of Naboo was basically a small move in a large chess game between the Trade Federation and the Republic over trade route taxation.

I think we're meant to infer from the context that the Jedi council is worried about the Trade Federation blockade of Naboo, and has sent a couple of diplomats to try and resolve it.
This was probably routine crisis handling for the Jedi at this point, given the effective paralysis of the Republic Senate.

Obviously the Jedi are there to negotiate a lifting of the blockade. However, the Trade Federation's blockade is supposed to be secret. It's supposed to be part of a larger plot for Palpatine to take over (garnering sympathy, etc.).

Yeah, why not gas them and then attempt to execute them by firing squad? This whole 'jerking off to the anti-Jedi-perspective' routine is so tired.

The opposition sends two heavily armed religious fanatics with psychic powers that can warp minds to the Trade Federation and they say they want to "negotiate". Is it any wonder that they went for a preemptive attack?

I think we're meant to infer from the context that the Jedi council is worried about the Trade Federation blockade of Naboo, and has sent a couple of diplomats to try and resolve it.
This was probably routine crisis handling for the Jedi at this point, given the effective paralysis of the Republic Senate.

They were sent by the Chancellor to negotiate like it says in the prologue." The chancellor secretly dispatched two jedi knights."

While this is true, this has been covered with better detail and references in an existing answer. Do you have any additional information to add?

Obviously the Jedi are there to negotiate a lifting of the blockade. However, the Trade Federation's blockade is supposed to be secret. It's supposed to be part of a larger plot for Palpatine to take over (garnering sympathy, etc.).

Because after training as younglings with Yoda, Padawans then spend the next several years studying economics and Galactic trade law. So it makes sense.

Unless you're asking why Jedi were specifically chosen for the negotiations with the Trade Federation, this is a "general reference" question which is indeed addressed in the film itself. If we had "general reference" as a close reason here (as some other sites do) I'd imagine this question would be closed.
