Investment Fiji is currently undertaking an in-market visit to China aimed at deepening economic engagement, attracting foreign direct investment, and boosting exports to one of the world’s most dynamic economies.

Led by Fiji’s Ambassador to China, Robert Lee, the team held engagements with key agricultural enterprises and technology leaders in Weifang City, a globally renowned hub for vegetable farming and agricultural innovation, which provided a fitting environment for knowledge exchange and potential collaboration.

The visit, which is supported by the Fiji Embassy in Beijing and the Fiji Trade Commission in Shanghai, enabled the team to meet with Shouguang Agriculture Holding Group to explore the potential of introducing the Shouguang Farming Model to Fiji to enhance vegetable farming practices and discuss ways to improve livelihoods for Fijian farmers through new crop varieties and innovative techniques.
