Sugarcane production in Fiji is primarily concentrated in two specific regions:
- Viti Levu: Cultivation is focused on the western, drier side of the island. The city of Lautoka, located on the northwestern coast, serves as a major center for the sugar industry and functions as the country's leading sugar export port.1234
- Vanua Levu: Production is concentrated in the area surrounding Labasa, which is located on the island's north coast.513
These sugar-producing regions are characterized by predominantly Indian populations. The industry is managed by the government-controlled Fiji Sugar Corporation, which maintains a monopoly on milling and marketing.31
