  ABSTRACT: Regional trade is equally important for countries as international trade. The Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) is the body that facilitates regional trade in the Pacific by implementing and upholding free trade agreements between its member countries. This paper looks at the trade agreements that Fiji is part of and determines the export levels of commodities trade with its regional partners. Fiji’s export in 2019 totals $1,032,914.40 (US thousand) of which approximately forty-one percent (40.85%) is exported to regional countries. Its leading export commodity to regional countries in 2019 includes food products and fuel worth $72,228.62 (US thousand) and $70,818.74 (US thousand) respectively.
