Beatrice Nast who has been involved in the tourism and beauty and spa industry has gone into the manufacturing of Fiji’s first goat milk soap, MESOVU.
While officiating in the launching of “MESOVU”(Fiji) Pte Ltd in Nadi, Minister for Commerce Faiyaz Koya says the new product will create a pathway for niche skincare rituals.
The Minister further says this is the time to look for opportunities that can fill untapped markets and demands.
Koya says he was told consumer preferences remain preferred towards natural and organic products which are well-timed to the release of “MESOVU” – a product which will, in the coming days retail in souvenir shops and be without match in high-end resorts as an alternative to coconut soaps.
“MESOVU” will employ two soap makers in January next year, and is supplied goat milk from three farms, which will extend to five farms to ensure a guaranteed supply of goat milk to meet growing demands.
Koya says in the coming days, they will look forward to welcoming “MESOVU” to the Fijian Made and Buy Fijian Campaign to join others that have given the Fijian brand exposure domestically and internationally. The Minister says this is an excellent time for Fijian companies to recover, revive and reawaken their commitment towards creating new products that our visitors can take back when they leave our shores.
Koya encourages goat farmers to consider goat milk production as an alternative source of income to support their livelihood.
