Last update: 8 hours agoPacific Trade & Finance: Food Processors Limited says it’s pushing beyond processed exports by targeting fresh and frozen “green produce” for Australia and New Zealand, while also scouting regional buyers in Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Nauru and Kiribati; it’s also exploring a Memorandum of Understanding with the Fiji Development Bank to help contract farmers access loans and scale production. Regional Security & Nauru’s Exposure: China’s submarine-launched, nuclear-capable ballistic missile test over the South Pacific—reported to have landed between Nauru and Tuvalu—drew sharp condemnation across the region, with Pacific leaders warning it undermines the “blue continent” and raises fears of militarisation. Deep-Sea Mining Governance: The UN seabed regulator defended its authority as deep-sea mining firms seek to stop an investigation, keeping pressure on how minerals extraction is governed in international waters.
