Fiji pineapple production shows potential
A leader in the pineapple farming sector, Mr McGregor believes there is scope to develop farming, production and sales even further.
He said opportunities have been identified to sustainably expand Fiji's pineapple industry by increasing yields, extending seasonal availability and improving product quality through improvement of pineapple husbandry practices.
"It has long been recognised that substantial opportunities exist to expand Fiji's pineapple sales both for local consumption and for export including fresh and processed products," he said.
"However, the underpinning requirements for realising these opportunities are to expand the seasonal availability of pineapples, to increase yields and for farmers to adopt appropriate soil conservation measures.
