PIB Secretary Ane Naulivou says the submission is still under consideration.

On the issue of Milk Powder prices Naulivou says the Board approved an increase in the ex-factory price of milk powder in January.

She says this increase will now filter through to retail outlets as old stocks would have now been sold out.

However, Naulivou says the submissions regarding Rewa Life liquid milk is still with the Finance Ministry.

She says the board is continuously monitoring the movement in prices at wholesale and retail levels - to ensure price increases are justified.
