Fiji’s Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forests Mr Inia Seruiratu visited various stakeholders in the Western Division this week.
The visit reinforces the Ministry’s commitment to engage with relevant stakeholders especially those from the private sector engaged in commercial farming.
This visit also saw the Minister meet with officials at Ben’s Trading in Navua which is an award winning exporting company responsible mainly for the exporting of rootcrops from Fiji. The company is managed by Fijian couple Peni and Maria Moi.
As part of Government’s initiative, Ben’s Trading was assisted last year with the construction of a $400,000 warehouse which will be accomplished within the next two months.
Mr Seruiratu also visited the Sugar Research Institute of Fiji (SRIF) this week in Lautoka.
