Fiji Cooperative Dairy Company Limited
The Fiji Cooperative Dairy Company Limited (FCDCL) plays a crucial role in the dairy sector of Fiji, primarily operating within the Tailevu and Naitasiri regions. This company has been a central figure in the local dairy market, contributing significantly to the region's milk production and supply.
Significant Events
In 2009, FCDCL faced a severe challenge when a major outbreak of brucellosis and bovine tuberculosis struck, necessitating the culling of a large number of cattle. This outbreak drastically reduced the herd sizes and milk output, impacting the company's operations significantly. The recovery from this outbreak has been a pivotal part of the company's recent history.
To aid in overcoming these challenges and support its future operations, the Fiji Cooperative Dairy Company Limited is set to receive a substantial financial boost. A government-approved assistance package amounting to $4 million is proposed. This financial support is expected to alleviate the financial pressures the company faces, providing a pathway to stabilize and potentially expand its operations.
