Cassava prices have shot up in recent months in Fiji. Suva market vendors are now saying that the price of cassava, which is a staple diet for Fijians, have gone up dramatically. They said that a bag of cassava that used to cost F$15.00 to F$20.00 from farmers, has shot up to F$40.00 to F$50.00 a bag. The increase in prices may be due to some exporters now buying, processing and exporting the crop. A big buyer now is the FMF Group of Companies for its new brand of Cassava chips.
The crop provides a potential commodity for export from Fiji.
