The Fiji Development Bank is now working on a new lending policy which is specifically designed for organic farming.
FDB Chief Executive Officer Deve Toganivalu says they would also like to grow this area so farmers can adapt to sustainable and environmentally friendly ways to farm their produce for local and overseas markets.
Toganivalu adds that the new lending policy will help support the Government’s focus towards tourism, sustainable energy and climate change adaptation strategies.
Toganivalu says that the bank’s increased participation in the sector will help create employment opportunities.
