Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama opens the Punja’s Biscuit Factory in Lautoka

The new $25 million Punja’s Biscuit Factory in Lautoka that has been opened today will immediately create 100 new jobs and another 200 over the next two years.

While opening the latest state of art food production technology this morning, Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama said that more than half of the biscuits produced at the factory will be exported.

Bainimarama has praised the quality of the biscuits which demonstrates how far we have come as manufacturers in Fiji.

The Prime Minister proudly said that Fijian‑made product has become a byword for quality, not only here and in other food manufacturing but amongst a host of other export endeavors.

He thanked Punjas as a company and the Punjas as a family for expressing their confidence in the economy and Fiji’s export future.
