Punja passed away peacefully last Sunday in Auckland, New Zealand, surrounded by his close family.
He was a prominent businessman who made significant contributions to Fiji’s economic development.
He was the beloved husband of Jayaben Punja and a devoted father to Jagdish, Yogesh, Rajesh, Pravish and Jaishree Amarsee.
Through the FMF/Punjas Group, Punja played a vital role in strengthening the nation’s food supply chain, supporting local industries and sustaining livelihoods across the country.
The company has also played a key role in supporting government efforts, particularly following natural disasters, by working closely with authorities to ensure the timely procurement and distribution of food rations to affected communities.
During times of crisis, the company consistently provided reliable support, helping to ensure that essential assistance reached those most in need.
The late Punja’s leadership, generosity and commitment to national development and humanitarian efforts will always be remembered.
