An island country in the South Pacific Ocean northeast of New Zealand, the Republic of Fiji shipped US$1.11 billion worth of exported products around the globe in 2025.

That dollar metric results from a 36.4% upturn from $815.9 million five years earlier in 2021.

Year over year, Fijian exported products fell by -3.2% compared to $1.15 billion starting from 2024.

Based on average exchange rates for 2025, the Fiji dollar appreciated by 9.1% against the US dollar since 2021 and rose 1.1% from 2024 to 2025. Fiji’s stronger local currency makes Fijian exports paid with comparatively weaker US dollars relatively more expensive starting from American currency.

The latest available country-specific data shows that 66.4% of products exported from Fiji was bought by importers in: United States of America (17.8% of Fiji’s total), Australia (12%), mainland China (8.1%), New Zealand (5.9%), Tonga (5.5%), Vanuatu (3%), American Samoa (2.74%), Samoa (2.66%), Singapore (2.5%), Kiribati (2.14%), Japan (2.13%) and Tuvalu (1.8%).

From a continental perspective, 52.8% of Fiji’s exports by value was delivered to Oceania led by Australia, New Zealand and Tonga while 22.3% was sold to importers in North America.

Fiji shipped another 20.5% worth of goods to customers based in Asia.

Smaller percentages went to buyers in Europe (3.9%), Latin America (0.3%) excluding Mexico but including the Caribbean then Africa (0.1%).

Given Fiji’s population of 928,000 people, its US$1.11 billion in 2025 exports translates to about $1,200 for every person living in Fiji. That dollar metric lags the average $1,250 one year earlier during 2024.

Fiji’s top 10 exports accounted for almost three-quarters (72.7%) of the overall value of its global shipments.

Oil seeds represent the fastest grower among the top 10 export categories, up by 55.5% from 2024 to 2025.

In second place for improving export sales was gems and precious metals via a 50.6% advance led by unwrought gold.

Fiji’s shipments of wood posted the third-fastest gain in value, up by 20.1%.

The leading decliner among Fiji’s top 10 export categories was sugar, both as materials and including sugar confectionery, thanks to a -50.5% year-over-year drop.

The above information is presented at the two-digit Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) code level.

Drilling down into the more granular four-digit HTS codes, processed petroleum oils represent Fiji’s most valuable exported product at 24.1% of the country’s total. In second place were mineral or aerated waters (12.5%) trailed by unwrought gold (10.1%), frozen whole fish (6.5%), medicinal plants (3.1%), aircraft or spacecraft parts (2.4%), fuel wood including wood chips and sawdust (2.1%), sugar (1.9%), bread and biscuits plus cakes and pastries (1.8%), then manioc, artichokes and sweet potatoes (1.7%).

The following types of Fijian product shipments represent positive net exports or a trade balance surplus. Investopedia defines net exports as the value of a country’s total exports minus the value of its total imports.

In a nutshell, net exports represent the amount by which foreign spending on a home country’s goods or services exceeds or lags the home country’s spending on foreign goods or services.

Fiji incurred an overall -US$2.13 billion trade deficit for 2025, expanding by 8% from -$1.97 billion in red ink one year earlier in 2024.

Below are exports from Fiji that result in negative net exports or product trade balance deficits. These negative net exports reveal product categories where foreign spending on home country Fiji’s goods trail Fijian importer spending on foreign products.

Not one Fijian corporation ranks on the Forbes Global 2000 list.

Wikipedia lists exports-related companies from Fiji. Selected examples are shown below.

In macroeconomic terms, Fiji’s total exported goods represent 7.1% of its overall Gross Domestic Product for 2025 ($15.7 billion valued in Purchasing Power Parity US dollars). That 7.1% for exports to overall GDP in PPP for 2025 compares to 7.7% for 2024. Those percentages suggest a relatively decreasing reliance on products sold on international markets for Fiji’s total economic performance, albeit based on a short timeframe.

Another key indicator of a country’s economic performance is its unemployment rate. Fiji’s unemployment rate averaged 4.7% in 2025, down from an average 5% for 2024 per International Monetary Fund metrics.

Fiji’s capital city is Suva.
