MARKET vendors in Valelevu, Nasinu fear they may run out of produce in a few days.
Root crops, fruits and vegetables are running short for vendors who are cut off from their suppliers outside of their containment zone.
Susana Mauvu says she has not been able to get her biggest selling produce – cassava – and is relying on the sale of vegetables to support her family.
“The farmers usually come from Wainibuku,” she said.
“Cassava is a big part of our diet in Fiji and I haven’t been able to get any.”
