The commission says it's important to recognize that local prices are significantly influenced by procurement costs, such as the cost of imported raw materials.
It says as such, pricing determinations are based on a thorough consideration of market factors, including global commodity prices and supplier’s procurement costs based on freight rates, currency exchange rates and so on.
The FCCC says these price reductions represent a significant stride in enhancing the affordability of butter for Fijian families and reflect the FCCC's commitment to ensuring that market changes benefit consumers, fostering overall community well-being.
