Makete
📖 Sigatoka, known as the 'Salad Bowl of Fiji,' offers a vibrant makete scene, particularly at the Sigatoka Market, which is a treasure trove for resellers. Here, you'll discover an abundance of fresh, locally grown produce from the fertile Sigatoka Valley, including unique tropical fruits, root crops like taro and cassava, and aromatic spices. Beyond edibles, resellers can find authentic Fijian handicrafts such as woven baskets, carved wooden bowls, masi cloth, and shell jewelry, often directly from local artisans. An insider tip for the best finds and a lively atmosphere is to visit the market early on a Saturday morning when farmers from surrounding villages bring in their freshest harvest.
