Kumar: Developing pathways for agricultural market access important

DEVELOPING pathways for agricultural market access is very important, says Minister for Industry, Trade and Tourism Premila Kumar.

She said Australia to date has facilitated the market access for 29 agricultural products, while New Zealand has facilitated the market access for around 52 agricultural products from Fiji.

“Despite the Australian economy being seven times larger than New Zealand’s, Fiji’s exports to Australia is on par with our exports to New Zealand,” Ms Kumar said.

“From 2010–2017, the study by PACER Plus negotiating parties indicated that Fijis total exports was about $6.5 billion during that period, of which $3.4billion was to Australia and $3.1 billion to New Zealand.”
