Food Processors Fiji Pte Limited (FPFL) has announced a three percent hourly wage increase for 71 of its employees, set to take effect on January 1, 2026. This adjustment received approval in December from Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka, who was serving as the Minister for Public Enterprises at the time, along with the previous Minister’s endorsement.
The wage increment further demonstrates FPFL’s commitment to enhancing its workforce’s welfare, a principle reinforced following legislative wage rate changes introduced in 2025. The Ministry of Public Enterprises highlighted that this move underscores the company’s ongoing dedication to fair employment practices.
FPFL continues to collaborate closely with the National Union of Factory and Commercial Workers, focusing on improving the terms and conditions of employment. The Ministry noted that this latest wage increase results from successful negotiations between FPFL and the Union, reflecting a cooperative approach towards workforce management.
This increase aims to bolster employee retention and stabilize the workforce, while also alleviating some of the financial pressures faced by employees. By prioritizing the well-being of its staff, FPFL sets a positive example in the industry, ensuring that employee support remains at the forefront of its operational strategies.
