The Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission (FCCC) has announced notable decreases in the retail prices of Rewa Butter, set to take effect tomorrow. This adjustment follows a recent drop in global raw butter prices, marking a positive change for consumers.
According to the FCCC, the price review was prompted by an average landing cost decline of 8 percent for bulk raw butter, compared to their previous assessment. In their statement, the Commission emphasized that they thoroughly reviewed the costs associated with manufacturing and production, leading to the revised retail pricing for all Rewa Butter pack sizes.
Specifically, the new prices for Rewa Butter will see a 125g pack drop from $3.91 to $3.58, a 250g pack from $7.77 to $7.12, and a 500g pack from $15.58 to $14.28. Each of these reductions represents a little over an 8 percent decrease for the respective products.
FCCC also noted that the fluctuations in the landed cost of raw bulk butter since 2021 have been heavily influenced by the conditions in the global dairy market. As of late 2025, these markets are witnessing a significant turnaround after a period marked by tight supply and elevated prices. Earlier in the year, a combination of factors—including a substantial rise in dairy imports by China and reduced milk production in New Zealand due to drought—had driven butter prices to multi-year highs.
This recent pricing adjustment reflects the FCCC’s commitment to promoting fair competition and protecting consumer interests. The reduction in prices of Rewa Butter is expected to bring relief to households, especially as grocery costs fluctuate in other areas. With these measures, the FCCC continues to monitor market conditions to ensure sustainable pricing strategies for the community.
