Despite this, the market is expected to gradually expand, driven by increasing demand for dairy products and government initiatives promoting dairy farming.

Customer preferences: As consumers in Fiji become more health-conscious, there has been a noticeable shift towards plant-based milk alternatives in the Milk Market of the Dairy Products & Eggs Market within The Food market. This is driven by a growing awareness of the environmental impact of dairy farming and the health benefits of plant-based diets. Additionally, there is a rise in demand for locally-sourced and organic milk, reflecting a trend towards sustainable and natural food products. These preferences are also influenced by cultural values that prioritize holistic well-being and connection to the land.

Trends in the market: In the Fiji dairy market, there is a growing trend of incorporating locally sourced milk into dairy products, as consumers are increasingly seeking out more sustainable and environmentally-friendly options.

Local special circumstances: In Fiji, the Milk Market within the Dairy Products & Eggs Market is heavily influenced by the country's geographical location and cultural practices. Due to the island's isolation, local dairy farmers have limited access to technology and resources, resulting in low production and a reliance on imported milk. Additionally, the majority of Fijians follow a traditional diet, with dairy products playing a minimal role. This cultural preference for fresh produce and seafood has hindered the growth of the milk market. Furthermore, the government's strict regulations on dairy production and imports have also contributed to the unique dynamics of the market.

The dairy industry is a major contributor to Fiji's economy, accounting for a significant portion of its GDP and providing employment opportunities.
