Pine harvesting in Kadavu will begin next month.

Colonel Mosese Tikoitoga says logging company Green Gold will undertake the harvesting.

Tikoitoga is a member of a committee appointed by the Kadavu Provincial Council to look at developing the pine industry on Kadavu.

Tikoitoga says the committee has discussed with the Fiji Road Authority about the transportation of the pine to the saw mill which will be located in Vunisea.

The company will use barges to transport the pine where roads are not available.
