Fiji Water will move to Vanua Levu with new plans to diversify Fiji’s agriculture sector that will drive economic developments.

In a move to achieve this, the company took to California a team of Biosecurity officials to inspect the nursery and seedlings prepared for their nursery in the North.

Parent company of Fiji Water, The Wonderful Company’s Executive Director and General Manager Craig Cooper made this known at the Fiji Institute of Chartered Accountants convention at the Crowne Plaza in Nadi.

Mr Cooper said the company has identified and purchased a piece of land in Vanua Levu and would build a nursery there.

“Our seedlings will come in from California and we plan to plant lime, mangoes and start with domestic markets as we grow our own seedlings,” he said.
