Copra farmers in Cakaudrove and Bua can resume the sale of raw copra to Fiji Coconut Millers from next week.
Company CEO John Deo said a team would be in Napuka, Saqani and Kubulau routes next Tuesday to buy raw copra.
This purchase transaction was shelved after the mill in Savusavu was partly destroyed by fire causing total damage of $200,000.
“Those farmers who do not have copra dryers have held back supply of raw copra for one week until next Tuesday when we resume buying raw copra,” Mr Deo said.

The Reserve Bank of Fiji Governor says Fiji could see a marginal economic recovery if borders open towards the end of the year. Ariff Ali says economic recovery will depend on fiscal support provided by the government in the 2021-22 national budget. “On a positive note, the RBF’s December Business Expectations Survey shows that overall business confidence has improved slightly from six months ago, possibly reflecting the successful containment of the virus locally, businesses adjusting to the new norm and concrete steps towards immunisation across the globe,” Ali says. He anticipates inflation will rise due to shortages as the result of Tropical Cyclone Ana and associated flooding. The full statement is available here.
