The Australia Trade Mission hosted by Investment Fiji last month has brought successful opportunities for one local company, Green Gold Kava Fiji, which has inked a new deal with Australian importers after securing valuable business for its locally grown products.
Managing director Praveen Narayan stated the new distributors, based in Melbourne, had expressed interest in purchasing their products during the week-long trade tour in Australia in July.
Narayan said the mission created a perfect platform for constructive meetings with key buyers.
While congratulating the company on its recent achievement in expanding to the Australian market, Investment Fiji Chief Executive Officer Kamal Chetty mentioned it is a significant step forward for the company to establish itself in a new market.
“One of our aims while hosting this outbound mission was to establish markets and trade channels for our local products internationally. With new interest in kava in international countries, it is imperative that Fiji makes the most of every opportunity to protect kava as a true Fijian product,” said Chetty.
He highlighted that Fiji has a wide range of premium kava products and Investment Fiji is ready to provide opportunities to meet with new buyers and market information to businesses in this industry.
Meanwhile, the Australia mission 30-member Fijian delegation was led by Minister for Commerce, Trade, Tourism and Transport Faiyaz Koya.
