The price of lamb products will reduce drastically from this Saturday in Fiji after the Price Control Order was issued by the Commerce Commission yesterday.

Fijivillage has made an assessment of the current prices and the price for a kilogram of lamb chops is as high as $18.

Based on the order, a kilogram of lamb chops will cost $10.55 in Viti Levu while the prices will be slightly higher outside Viti Levu from this weekend.

There are also reductions in the price of lamb neck and shanks.

A kilogram of lamb neck will drop to $6.45.

The prices for all brands of rice have been reduced and brands that used to cost about $18 for a 10kg pack will cost about $10 to $12.

There are also reductions for all brands of tinned fish, sardines, tuna flakes, edible oil, baby food, baby milk, powdered milk, liquid milk, tea, corned beef and mutton, noodles, margarine and imported butter.

There are also reductions for potatoes, onions, garlic and split peas.

Families using baby formula for their babies will also benefit hugely from the reductions.

For example a S26 Gold Formula that currently costs $38.91 will cost $33.47 from Saturday.

Commerce Commission’s Doctor Mahendra Reddy said the prices will only be slightly higher compared to the main supermarkets in Viti Levu.
