10 people have been produced in court for their alleged involvement in drug related activities in Navosa and Sigatoka.
More than 3,000 plants have been uprooted.
Police Chief of Operations, ACP Rusiate Tudravu says the arrest was a result of Operation Cavuraka which saw a joint team consisting of officers from the Fiji Police Force and the Republic of Fiji Military Forces combing the rugged terrains in search of the farms.
He says the raids were also conducted in the peri‑urban areas of Sigatoka which resulted in the seizure of small amounts of hard drugs.
Tudravu says the officers trekked for hours to cover isolated areas to ensure maximum number of persons involved were identified and brought before the courts.
He says they are also grateful to the support shown by village elders with the provision of horses and manpower who helped in identifying the farms.
