He adds that they have already changed the immigration law and regulations that will allow former Fiji-born citizens holding other passports to come to Fiji without needing a permit.

The Minister says that Fiji has immense potential in the manufacturing, ICT, renewable energy, outsourcing, film production, commercial agricultural and aquaculture, mining, and tourism sectors.

Kamikamica says there are opportunities in new industries such as medicinal cannabis, nutraceutical drugs (kava and traditional medicines), and renewable energy.
