This ambitious development, spearheaded by local entrepreneur Edwin Chand, is poised to significantly boost the local economy by creating a wealth of job opportunities and generating millions of dollars in revenue.
Trade Minister Manoa Kamikamica emphasized that this project represents a transformative change for Labasa, stating, “Not only will it provide a modern space for industries to thrive, but it will also generate employment opportunities and contribute significantly to the economy.” He noted that once the industrial zone becomes fully operational, it is anticipated to create hundreds of jobs across both skilled and unskilled sectors, including construction and technical fields.
Moreover, Mr. Kamikamica highlighted that the industrial zone is expected to attract interest from businesses located throughout Fiji as well as international ventures. “This is an important initiative that will bring much-needed investment into Labasa,” he added.
This development marks a hopeful turning point for the region, as it paves the way for sustainable economic growth and enhanced job opportunities for the residents of Labasa. The prospects of increased skilled labor demand suggest that local workers will benefit not just from immediate job openings, but also from enhanced training and skill development initiatives. Overall, the project aims to foster a vibrant industrial hub that could uplift the community and stimulate economic progression in the area.
