I have a fruit farm in Fiji, near Rakiraki town.
I highly recommend that newcomers to Fiji rent for a while before buying property. You'll learn so much from local people, and get the best deals.
Land prices vary greatly depending on soil quality, terrain, and access to towns/cities. Viti Levu islands tends to be a more expensive than other islands, but not outrageously expensive. My guess is that 40 acre native or crown lease in the Sigatoka valley would sell for $50,000 FJ ($25,000 US), but that's just a guess.
Farm labourers earn approximately $3/hr ($1.50/hr US), but skilled labour might cost $4-5/hr.
You might have problems getting a work permit for yourself in Fiji unless you're hiring enough people (creating jobs) or doing something other than common farming. Like most countries, Fiji doesn't want foreigners taking jobs away from Fiji citizens.
