These companies will be travelling on their own costs to not only showcase their products but get possible leads and connections that could result in securing major deals.

Down to Earth Fiji, TaveNiu, Golden Ocean, Vinaka Agriculture, Juice Fiji, Lami Kava, Loloma Fiji, and Road Kings Farms will be representing the Fiji brand at the global stage during the 2-day event.

Fiji’s Trade Commissioner to Australia and New Zealand Daniel Stow said, “We’re pleased to partner with Investment Fiji once again for this year’s Naturally Good Expo - providing an important platform for Fijian exporters to showcase their products to a targeted international audience.”

“There are over a dozen companies being represented at the Fiji booth this year, allowing them to meet with prospective buyers and importers as well as get the latest insights into the Australian market and consumer trends they can bring back with them to Fiji,” he added.

Investment Fiji Chief Executive Officer, Kamal Chetty, also emphasized the importance of promoting Fiji made products to global markets.

"Events like Naturally Good Expo offer a crucial avenue for our local businesses to showcase their high-quality products to a wider audience," he said.

"This not only fosters export growth but also translates in to increased employment opportunities back home in Fiji, ultimately improving the lives of our people."

Chetty further highlights the significance of these events for Fijian businesses in staying on top of industry standards.

"Participation in international expos allows our companies to gain valuable insights into the latest practices and regulations followed by leading global brands. This equips them to compete effectively in the international market while continuously improving their service quality and adhering to the highest food safety standards," he added.

Investment Fiji's collaboration with the Fiji Consulate General &Trade Commission in Australia & New Zealand underscores their commitment to supporting local businesses in achieving their full export potential.

Fiji’s participation in Naturally Good Expo paves the way for these Fijian companies to connect with key industry players, expand their international reach, and ultimately contribute to the nation's economic growth.
