Nadi based Unik Tropical Export has embarked on expanding into new international markets with the support from Investment Fiji and has now entered the market for yam export, recently dispatching their inaugural consignment to Brisbane, Australia.

Company Director, Dhirendra Nath says that they have been actively exporting organic turmeric to high-potential markets, including the United States of America and Canada.

Nath says the company has established a strong presence in the global arena by exporting an array of fresh and frozen vegetables such as taro and cassava to various overseas destinations.

He says their primary objective is to promote Fiji's exceptional products on the global stage.

He says they eagerly anticipate receiving more orders from these markets, which will further benefit our local farmers.

Nath says through Investment Fiji, they are actively exploring additional markets for their fresh and frozen vegetables.

Unik Tropical Export has close to a $1 million worth of export value.

While commending the company’s success, Investment Fiji CEO, Kamal Chetty says they take immense pride in supporting local companies’ expansion into new markets, a development that promises to create employment opportunities and contribute to the flourishing Fiji economy.

He further highlighted the positive impact of the company's commitment to sourcing produce from Fijian farmers, noting that it significantly elevates the farmers' quality of life by providing a platform to export their goods.

The Investment Fiji CEO says they are delighted to foster Unik Tropical Export's growth journey, as they firmly believe in the company's potential to emerge as a leading exporter of local produce.

He says they remain confident that this trajectory will not only create jobs but also bolster Fiji’s economy.

Chetty says Fiji has significant potential to increase its export capabilities as there is a diverse range of products and services to offer, including agricultural products, seafood, manufactured goods etc, according to the CEO.

He says Investment Fiji works alongside the Ministry of Trade, Co-operatives, Small and Medium Enterprises which is committed to supporting the growth of our export sector.

Chetty adds they have a number of policies and programs in place to help businesses export, and they are working with their development partners to provide additional support.
