Fiji is experiencing a second kava boom. Unlike the boom of the 1990s that was driven by European export demands, the present boom is fuelled largely by domestic and regional demand with a small but important element of exports beyond Pacific island countries.

The analysis also includes a detailed study of gender and social inclusion aspects.
