Tavua–Rarawai Rail Line to Remain Operational: DPM Prasad

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Professor Biman Prasad, has confirmed that the Tavua–Rarawai sugarcane railway line will remain operational for the current crushing season.

The announcement brings relief to farmers who rely on the network to transport their cane to the mills efficiently and affordably.

Prasad said repairs and upgrades to the rail line will be fast-tracked to ensure smooth operations and strengthen the sugar industry.

“This decision is part of the Government’s broader commitment to supporting farmers and revitalising the sugar sector,” he said.
