Since its inception in 2014, the Micro and Small Business Grant under the government has supported 16,605 people investing a total of $15.9 million for people all over Fiji.
Today in the 29th phase of the Micro and Small Business Grant, 699 people have received grants to pursue their businesses in Nabouwalu.
While speaking at the Grants distribution in Nabouwalu, Minister for Industry, Trade and Tourism Faiyaz Koya says many of these small and micro business operators are part of the informal sector hence their contributions to the economy do not get recorded.
Koya says the Prime Minister is a strong believer of this program and will ensure the continuation of this program.
He says the $1,000 worth grants given out today will help businesses such as Sole trader business, Agriculture business, Livestock farming and many more.
