Green Gold Kava

Establishing strong trade connections in major international markets like New Zealand, Australia, the USA and China. With a reputation for quality and innovation, Green Gold Kava has earned industry recognition, including the Emerging Exporter of the Year 2016 award and in 2018 received the award for small business operating internationally. Further, Green Gold Kava Fiji is now classified as HACCP Australia Certification in development, a significant milestone that will make it the first kava exporter in the North of Fiji to achieve this certification. This underscores their dedication to maintaining high standards in food safety and export quality.

Green Gold Kava’s leadership team brings together decades of experience in agriculture, international trade and business management. The family-run business is led by a visionary director, Mr. Praveen Udishwar Narayan, a veteran of the kava industry with over 40 years of experience. Mr. Narayan was born and raised in Suva, Fiji and brings unparalleled expertise, passion and leadership to the company with a strong understanding of the global kava market and a commitment to quality and sustainability.

The company is embarking on an ambitious expansion into the kava extracts market, a rapidly growing sector within the wellness and natural health industries. Kava extracts, especially in high- concentration forms, are gaining popularity globally due to their benefits for stress relief, relaxation and wellness.

To capitalize on this opportunity, Green Gold Kava requires an investment of FJD6.4 million (USD 2.8 million) to fund machinery acquisitions, operational costs and potential property acquisition for scaling production. The targeted return on this investment, supported by growing market demand and the company’s proven track record, is expected to yield an annual ROI of 15-20%, with the full recoupment projected within 4-6 years.
