Co-ops for Exports: Fiji is also urging stronger cooperatives to help rural producers reach larger markets, cut out middlemen, and scale planned root crop exports to Nauru. Regional Aviation Model: New Zealand points to the Cook Islands’ airline experience as proof that Pacific aviation can grow—relevant for Nauru’s connectivity and trade. Trade & Logistics Policy: Australia’s treaties committee is holding hearings on air services agreements including one with Naoero, focusing on safety, security, customs and competition impacts for tourism and export industries.
