The Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission (FCCC) claims there will be no cement shortage in Fiji despite the temporary suspension of production at Pacific Cement Pte Ltd.
Sanikavika Jiuta, FCCC’s CEO, said, “Consumers can be confident that their needs will be met, and we will not tolerate any unfair practices that seek to exploit this situation.”
FCC, which regulates the ex-factory, wholesale and retail prices of Portland and blended cement, has monitored the situation since 21 March 2025 when Pacific Cement suffered a mill failure.
FCC has been carrying out a market study, including a 15-month analyses of cement sales, production and cement demand as well as cement capacity assessments. Tengy Cement has proactively ramped up its production at its Suva (Veseira) and Lautoka mills with two shifts per day to meet the supply gap.
