A London‑based sugar refiner, Tate & Lyle PLC, has reasserted its commitment to a long‑term partnership with the Fijian Government at a meeting held in London with a Fijian sugar delegation led by Prime Minister and Minister for Sugar , Voreqe Bainimarama.

During the talks, Tate & Lyle expressed their keen desire to strengthen ties with the Fijian Government and offered technical support and assistance for the implementation of the ongoing reforms in Fiji’s sugar industry.

He said he will look forward to growing our relationship in the sugar trade.
