Why support it?

When you buy a Fijian made product or service, you’re helping to create jobs and promote growth.

Your purchases ensure that the money spent in Fiji stays in Fiji, reinvestin­g in the economy and the community.

We must grow our economy and it is through the “Fijian Made” Campaign that manufactur­ers and retailers – and small – can contribute to the economy while also benefiting consumers.

The recently launched Fijian Made certificat­ion logo gives everyone the opportunit­y to easily recognise Fijian products or service. Fijians are innovating every day and we must all show our pride and loyalty to internal growth when we purchase and buy “Fijian Made”.

This is a huge opportunit­y for entreprene­urs wanting to use this platform and branding for their products and goods.

The Fijian Made-Buy Fijian brand has been showcased world over. It took centre stage at some prominent internatio­nal events including COP-23. Getting this licence is an investment in your business and is an investment
