Export Trade to USA
Fiji has been recording positive balances of trade with USA, with exports normally exceeding imports. In 2005, total export to the USA was US$169.5 million against total imports of US$28.2 million, hence, a positive balance of trade of US$141 million.

There remains enormous potential for Fiji to expand its current export trade and explore new opportunities which always receives Government’s full support.

Sectors for Export Business
The sectors that have been performing reasonably well for Fiji’s exports to the USA (2002-2006) are given below. Fiji, however, welcomes proposals for new export industries especially those emerging from business innovations involving new technology.

	RESOURCE BASED SECTORS • Agriculture: vegetables, fruits, livestock • Fisheries: aquaculture and mari-culture • Forestry: furniture, sawn timber, interior and building components • Mineral: water, metal exploration and mining
	Processing industries and value adding are highly attractive especially for prepared foods and sea food and agro-products.
	MANUFACTURING SECTOR • Textiles, clothing and footwear (TCF) • Food and Beverage • Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics • Forestry products – furniture and other household products

Export Incentives
The Fiji Government has setup an Incentives Package with the aim of encouraging increased investments in export businesses. Foreign investments in export related activities are welcomed especially because they introduces capital, expertise and technology which makes significant contribution to Fiji's economic development. Joint ventures are highly encouraged to stimulate local entrepreneurship. This section contains downloadable files highlighting the Fiji Government's Investment Incentives Package.
