GOVERNMENT has provided a great way forward for exporters under its National Export Strategy (NES) initiative, says Green Gold Kava managing director Praveen Narayan.
"My small family-owned Fijian owned company knows no bounds and is eager to reach out to the world," he said.
Mr Narayan has always promoted his company's aims of "green gold kava globalisation" to his customers locally and overseas.
The kava exporting company, based in Savusavu, was one of the 11 successful companies awarded grants last week under the Government's NES initiative.
"My company was awarded $60,000 grant for the purchase of new kava pounding and packing machines," Mr Narayan said.
"At the moment I'm outsourcing our kava pounding but now it will be done at our facility under strict quality control."
He said the trust placed by Government on exporters to deliver quality Fijian made Products overseas had resulted in a surge in export of these products.
"With new and improved technology we are moving forward in the export market overseas and now our products are accepted more by the worldwide community," he said.
Green Gold Kava was also invited to be part of the Pacific Trade Invest (PT&I) Pasifika Festival delegation in March and the Pacific Periscope newsletter reported that being part of the delegation "has boosted kava sales for Green Gold Kava owner-exporter Praveen Narayan".
