The executives of the 10 water bottling companies are again meeting to discuss their next course of action as they prepare to meet with the Interim Finance Minister Mahendra Chaudhry tomorrow to discuss the increased duty imposed on the sale of bottled water.
Fijivillage has received confirmation that a joint statement is expected to be issued by the ten companies later this afternoon on the decisions they have made.
The ten companies ceased all production on Friday following the 20 cents per litre export duty imposed on all the mineral water exports and the 20 cents per litre excise duty on mineral water sold locally.
Meanwhile, Fiji Islands Revenue and Customs Authority chief executive officer Jitoko Tikolevu said they are now closely monitoring the movement of all bottled water held in stock by the ten water bottling companies.
The ten companies will meet with Interim Finance Minister Mahendra Chaudhry tomorrow to discuss the matter.
