You never can buy a glass of chilled sugarcane juice anywhere in Fiji – I’m told there is one in Nadi somewhere; I haven’t seen it. But you go to Asia almost every stall serves chilled sugarcane juice. But, why not in Fiji? We tend to drink coke etc all imported stuff, we don’t make local fruit juices, our fruits rot.
We have the best pineapples and watermelon in the world, and everything from guava to mangoes but do you see our people preparing fresh tropical fruit juices that they can serve hygienically. No. It’s all a matter of changing mindset. We have to work on these things. I’m going to propose certain policies to Government in this regard.
