Imports from Australia were the highest for Fiji at $44.7 million due to imports of wheat while Singapore was next at $44.7 million.
But this is a significant reduction in import from Singapore as it decreased by $33.6 million due to decreased imports of diesel.
Imports from Thailand rose to $16.2 million mainly due to increased imports of sugar.
