p. 38 · Read in the full issue

MARSHALL Islands President Amata Kabua said during a recent visit to Fiji that his administration was looking at taking some of the country’s sugar needs from Fiji. Kabua said the Marshall Is lands had been given an annual export quota of 500 tonnes, and Fiji sugar would be cheaper than current import supplies from the United States.

The Marshall Islands are looking to diversify their trade links and lessen re liance on imports from the United States mainland.
