Coffee day

-

ATTENTION! All coffee lovers and the coffee confused. People celebrate one of the most popular beverages in the world and to raise awareness about sustainabl­e coffee cultivatio­n, as well as fair trade practices in the coffee industry.

While some countries have their own holidays to celebrate this amazing beverage, this day is observed as Internatio­nal day for coffee on October 1.

Humanity has been preparing coffee for many presentati­ons: drinks, candies, medicine, and some ancient civilisati­ons even used it as currency!

No matter how you take it, coffee can energise you, warm you up, refresh you, keep you awake, and even help you catch up with your loved ones.

Coffee has been energising people around the world for more than 600 years.

Today, this piping hot liquid is a breakfast staple in hundreds of countries — some 2.2 billion cups of coffee are consumed around the globe each day (with Finland topping the list as the most caffeinate­d country in the world).

However, should you decide to celebrate this day as unique to you as is your favourite cup of coffee, grab a cup and enjoy!

Lami with their counterpar­ts and corporatio­ns to set up manufactur­ing plants in Fiji.

This includes but not limited to engines, generators, pumps, compressor­s and numerous other plants and machinery.

Mechanical, electrical, and electronic components, gadgets, medicine, sportswear the list is endless.

Which will in turn create more jobs and specialise­d skills.

And most importantl­y a learning environmen­t. Things will start small but we will continue to build on them.

This pandemic brought tourism to a full stop. But with manufactur­ing things will slow down but won’t stop.

Since labour is cheap and an abundance of talent available. We have the right mix of strengths to enter this sector. Singapore is doing very well and chances are always high for big countries to end up purchasing from them.

So long we have read made in Italy, USA, Germany, China, etc.

About time we and the world start reading made in Fiji on some big brands. STEVEN CHANDRA

Suva power and nuclear power, but COVID seems to be here to stay indefinite­ly.

Masking with jabs to secure jobs is part of our lives for survival in this modern world.

Let’s follow all the protocols to put a stronger fight against COVID to win.

Super powered humans vs COVID!
