Questions are being raised on the delay in the offloading of produce such as potatoes and onions at the port in Suva that could lead to a shortage of the produce in the country and also affect their quality.

Some businesses are concerned that the delay has been upto 3 weeks and are questioning what are the shipping companies and Fiji Ports doing to fix this problem.

They say the produce comes from Auckland, New Zealand and could take up 4 weeks to arrive.

Questions have been sent to Fiji Ports Terminal Limited and the shipping company involved.

Fiji Ports is expected to respond tomorrow.
