Fiji offering crop-based biofuel investments 10-year tax holiday

In Fiji, the Xinhua news agency reports that whereas governments in Europe are trying to discourage biofuel production from agricultural crops, the Fijian government is offering a 10-year tax holiday for those investing in crop-based bioenergy projects. The policy is part of the country’s wider push to tackle climate change with its Green Growth Framework including a transition to renewable energy to help increase its overall, long-term sustainability, and through climate resilient agricultural practices as part of its 2020 ag sector policies.
