The temporary suspension placed on imported food produce from Fiji to New Zealand has been lifted.

Minister for Public Enterprise Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum announced the removal of the suspension in Suva last night.

Sayed-Khaiyum led a delegation in a meeting with officials from New Zealand’s Ministry of Primary Industries to discuss the impasse in Nadi on Wednesday.

NZ MPI had temporarily suspended four imported commodities from Fiji- these were breadfruits, papaya, mangoes and eggplants on August 2nd.

However, they admitted they made an error suspending the four commodities as it was inappropriate.
