Customer preferences: Consumers in Fiji are increasingly prioritizing health-conscious choices in their edible oil selections, with a notable shift towards oils that are perceived as healthier, such as coconut and olive oils. This trend is influenced by the rising awareness of nutrition and wellness, particularly among the younger demographic, which is more inclined to embrace sustainable and organic products. Additionally, traditional cooking methods are being blended with modern dietary preferences, fostering a demand for locally sourced oils that align with cultural practices while promoting environmental sustainability.

Trends in the market: In Fiji, the Edible Oils Market is experiencing a pronounced shift towards health-oriented options, with consumers increasingly favoring coconut and olive oils due to their perceived nutritional benefits.

Local special circumstances: In Fiji, the Edible Oils Market is shaped by its rich cultural heritage and diverse geography, where traditional cooking practices emphasize the use of locally sourced ingredients. The archipelago's abundant coconut palms have made coconut oil a staple, favored for both its culinary uses and health benefits.
