Fiji agricultural export expansion

Overview

Fiji is working to expand its agricultural export footprint across various global and regional markets. The company Cacao Fiji is targeting an increase in cocoa exports to the United States, with plans to scale from initial small shipments to 50 metric tons within one to two years and eventually support up to 10,000 smallholders.

In the Pacific region, Fiji is utilizing the Pacific Fresh AirLink (PFAL) initiative to send export-quality produce to Nauru to improve food security. Additionally, Fiji has established a significant presence in the Australian kava market, supplying over 100,000 kilograms last year. To manage this growth, the Fijian government is proposing new legislation to regulate the kava industry and ensure quality standards.
