Thank you for visiting our site dedicated to linking Fiji farmers taro root and kava kava with merchants and users offshore.

And yes, you read the heading right. What has your interest in these products got to do with stopping coups you may wonder?

Simple... You see while we have 'developed', the bulk of rural dwellers or villagers have remained poor in money terms simply due to the lack of a market access and the dis-economies of scale Fiji farmers individually face.

Sure they live a life of 'subsistence affluence' but since the barter economy is not the acceptable mode in most places today, their need for - cash - does prick their conscience into questioning many matters. Fertile grounds for; yes... coup mongering by shrewd individuals.

NO MORE COUPS

Fiji's five coups in twenty years reminds leaders the world over that people vote them into power to serve; NOT serve themselves or some hidden agenda, but to serve the people.

But such a noble calling just had to have a stain, eh?

After forty years of independence and good advice the retail sector still outweighs manufacturing and real wealth creation with its heavy dependence on imported factor inputs.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The problems of South Pacific Island Countries are low and poor investments with similarly low outputs. Incremental capital-output ratios (ICORs) for the region averages 7% and as the World Bank notes is "8-times less efficient than the average for all low income countries".

SOLUTION

This site endeavors through our Fiji farmers resource sectors to augment tourism and other export-led initiatives by contributing to foreign exchange earnings and improving this yardstick.

Given the undulating terrain of much of our lands and the problems it poses to mechanized forms of farming, the lands nevertheless produces foods of superior tastes and texture.

Add to that the low investment costs of production we see the righting of the above ratio in the making.

It is this magic that is now being made widely available through this site. Remember planting by Fiji farmers is a year around activity, so we are able in most instances to supply niche businesses our 'peculiarly Fijian' offerings.

And while the problem of 'smallness' may exist, we have turned this around to our benefit. By adopting smart technologies Fiji farmers supplies are being aggregated in the following pages availing this economy as the driver in improving rural economics.

What Drives This Site:

If you are anxious about the quality of our offerings, let me assure you here of our integrity. Our governing philosophy is stated succinctly by the great Japanese Aikido master Morihei Ueshiba (c. 1883-1969):

"As economy is the basis of society - and for society to develop the economy must be strong - the ideal economy must combine the material with the spiritual; and the best commodities to trade in are sincerity and love".

Accordingly, customers can be assured of our quality firstly, and equally important; contributing farmers earn export prices as well.

What could be better? A truly win/win/win (you/farmers/FTAK.com) relation.

HOW WE DO THIS:

Our processing centers are spread throughout the exporting ports of Fiji to afford lower transhipment times and better cover the various provinces. We thus export from Rotuma, Labasa, Ovalau, Suva and Lautoka.

Currently we are able to supply Fiji farmers taro to Micronesia, Japan, NZ, Australia and the US west coast including Canada by sea, and Fiji kava to most countries of the world that have heeded the findings of the IKEC - the International Kava Executive Council - and lifted kava bans. Also air freighted packed frozen taro can also be packed in reseller packs and dispatched worldwide.

Handicrafts and other primary products - seaweed, sandalwood timber, tuna fish, cassava, etc. will be added soon as marketing systems are developed for them.
