Fiji PM opens Bio -fuel MillWednesday, March 10, 2010
The mill is expected to contribute greatly to the Koro economy, particularly in helping revive the copra industry there. Our reporter Eleanoa Osbourne is in Koro and filed this report: “Government is excited with the bio fuel project as the multiplier effects will be huge. Opening Fiji’s first bio-diesel mill in Nacamaki – Koro this morning Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama says the benefits to the villagers will be enormous and will contribute to national development. Bainimarama says the island’s bio-fuel project provides secure – sustainable – reliable – renewable and affordable energy. The mill is expected to improve living standards with the price of copra increasing from 470 dollars a ton to 600 dollars a ton. Instead of hiring transport for carting copra to the wharf and then to Savusavu the copra will now be picked from people’s houses. Bainimarama says the logistic nightmares will be removed and commercial benefits returned to the communities hence alleviating poverty. " This afternoon Commodore Bainimarama will hold consultations with the people in Koro. Fiji Broadcasting Corporation |
