IN a bid to increase business for local poultry producers, Government has imposed a 10 per cent duty on all imported frozen chickens.
Attorney General and Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum made the announcement during the 2019-2020 national budget address in Parliament tonight.
“To further stimulate Fiji’s domestic growing poultry industry, we are imposing a 10 per cent duty on imported chicken which will make it more attractive for resorts and international restaurant chains to buy from Fijian farms,” he said.
