Attorney General and Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says people should never think that a job is anything less than another profession.
Speaking to the participants at the 2017/2018 budget consultation at Penang Sangam High School in Rakiraki, Sayed-Khaiyum said that every profession is important.
Sayed-Khaiyum urged the people that if they want to be a farmer they should become one as there is a lot of potential in agriculture.
He says one of the issues in agriculture in Fiji was that the agriculture leases were given out only for 30 years.
The Minister for Economy says now people can get the leases for 99 years which they can then use to borrow money, buy machinery and other things.
Sayed-Khaiyum says many farms in Fiji still do not use new technology.
