Fiji’s pristine and unique geographical make-up and productive state land continue to attract international investors.

Ministry of Lands and Mineral Resources Permanent Secretary, Doctor Raijeli Taga says our natural surroundings have given these investors an assurance and confidence to set up a business in Fiji.

She adds these investors are amongst those who usually bid to lease state land for commercial or industrial purposes, which ties up well with the Fijian Government’s development approach.

Sometimes we do also receive adhoc applications and even from foreign investors and those are the ones used to try and assess of where we can locate those investments.”

The Ministry has also received an overwhelming number of applications to lease state land for residential, agricultural, and industrial purposes.
