Dairy Industry

Dairy production in Fiji is broadly classified into two major categories, namely the (1) formal sector, which comprise
farmers who supply milk and cream to Rewa Co-operative Dairy Company Limited (RCDC) and the (2) informal
sectors, which comprise fresh milk producers who supply urban dwellers (for home consumption), farm use and production of value adding milk by-products.

Dairy farming mainly operates in the Central division of the main island of Viti Levu, where the main milk processors, Rewa Co-operative Dairy Company (RCDC) operates.

Investment opportunities in the dairy industry exist in a number of areas:

·           Feed supply services;
·        Organic;

·           Value Adding;
·        Food service cheese for chefs; 
·        Bulk powdered milk for repacking;
·        The supply of retail yoghurt;
·        Breeding and fattening.

There are also opportunities for exporters who can tailor make products/services for the increasing elderly and health conscious population of Fiji. The efficiency in the dairy farms in Fiji would enable higher milk production which could also be utilized to manufacture cheese to meet the local demand and in turn reduce import expenditure.
