Fijians

CSR Company Limited in Fiji

CSR bought land from the Fijians for the sugar cane farms and mills. Many Fijians were trained by the Company to work in the sugar industry through training farms like the CSR's training farm for Fijian youth at Drasa, Lautoka, which operated from 1938 to 1967.
