Concerns have emerged regarding the prolonged offloading times of containers carrying essential produce like potatoes and onions at Suva's port. This situation could potentially lead to a scarcity of these items in Fiji, alongside impacting their quality. The delay, which has reached up to three weeks, has prompted inquiries towards the shipping entities and Fiji Ports regarding their measures to address this issue. The origin of the produce, Auckland, New Zealand, means transportation alone can span up to four weeks. Queries have been directed to Fiji Ports Terminal Limited and the implicated shipping company, with a response from Fiji Ports anticipated by tomorrow.
