Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Nadi Produce Markets, rated 3/5, offers a mixed experience. While it provides a glimpse into Fijian culture with its array of local goods, the atmosphere is marred by cleanliness issues and unpleasant odors. Additionally, the market seems to lack variety, with a repetitive selection of items for sale. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a cultural hub worth exploring for those seeking an authentic Fijian market experience, albeit with some room for improvement in sanitation and product diversity.

Took a taxi from Denarau to Nadi. Asked driver to take us past public hospital just out of interest. We went past Nadi Hospital, fire station, church and schools. Great to see and friendly driver who didn't charge any extra for the 10 minutes impromptu extra tour. Got out at Nadi produce market. The market is dark inside. It has a wide range of things for sale including kava, fruit, vegetables and seafood. Hygiene there is almost non existent and the public toilet was breathtaking and Third World. I can't describe the state and smell of the toilet. Needless to say I chose to hang on.
A scammer walked up and started disparaging Fijian Indians, Chinese and Japanese people who, in his words, were taking money away from real Fijians. Said he knew the only genuine Fijian store for souvenirs and the money went to the villages. I knew something was up...so I went in to the store, had a quick look and watched what they did. A very pushy Fijian came out and started demanding we buy something. I just said no thanks and walked out. The donation bowl was thrust in front of us and I gave some loose change, smiled and exited. As I exited I saw the tout watching from afar to see if we had bought anything. Might be my first time outside AU & NZ, but I wasn't born yesterday...that trick wasn't going to work on me.
It was absolutely pounding heat and I needed to use the toilet. Went to service station. No toilet paper and just a bottle of Fiji water to use as a bidet. Filthy toilet and the smell was hideous. Needless to say, that meant the visit was over and in a taxi back to the resort.
I'm glad I visited but it was not an enjoyable experience for me.

Definitely an experience, travellers be aware of people who raise the cost of the produce even when it's written down. The kava was great. Pity we didn't catch her name as she took the time to show us how it's made a d gave free testing and bowls

An interesting market selling all sorts of fruit and veg and kava. This place is full of scammers preying upon tourists. A “friendly” local appears and offers interesting commentary on the market. So “helpful” and before long you are convinced to visit his handicraft shop that helps a local village. After a kava ceremony you are almost convinced to buy local handicrafts that are probably made in China for about 20 times their real value. Beware when in Fiji as scammers are everywhere. It’s probably best not to engage with locals at all.

Please whatever you do as a tourist avoid going to this place. Not only is the dirtiest place for a young family. We had a terrible experience with someone trying to offer their local welcoming drink in a used mineral water bottle which had the finest bit in it and we had two very little children with us. Lucky we got out of that situation honestly alive. I will spread this to everyone I know as you need to be warned so no one can go through that experience it was truly scary.

It was definitely an interesting trip to the market and one worth doing.
The prices of the fruit were a dream and delicious!
What I would say as a tourist, is to be on your A game. We were very naive! There are a few sharks out there, and they are very clever at drawing you away to shops for a kava ceremony and to buy their local goods.
Don't afraid to be very firm and say no thankyou.
Once bitten, twice shy. It did leave a bitter taste in the mouth.

You might be surprised by the size of the market. Its not that big but the produce is excellent. well laid out on opposite sides of the same building and very helpful for say cutting a coconut for milk. Produce is good and everyone pleasant

We went into Nadi to get some produce to stock our refrigerator at the Raddison Blu so we could make some of our meals more economically than eating out all of the time! We found a giant heap of sweet potatoes for $5 Fijian, a giant bunch of spinach for $1, a heap of five small pineapples for $5, a very large avocado for $2, and a giant one for $3. Ginger was available in a large heap for $1 as were chilis. Corn was available in a heap of four for $2 and we got some. Heaps of lettuce and tomatoes were also available for $3 and okra for $1 for a heap. Egg plants and pumpkin at $1 and $2 respectively and the biggest bock choy I have ever seen which we didn’t even price as they were too large for our use! Lots and lots of great produce at reasonable prices and a very fun experience! Highly recommended!

We had a walk around here and was impressed with all the fruit and veges . Nicely displayed and the smells of the fresh pineapple FJD5 for about3-4 , watermelon etc .
We got a taxi from the Hilton in Denarau FJD14, and he dropped us at the market. You could also take the Yellow West Bus FJD1 which is a local bus service
( no aircond) and the bus terminus is right next door.

We had a car and drove to Nadi to see the handicraft and produce markets. There is a big cheap car park on the opposite corner to the produce market and beside the handicraft market. The produce is very good and very cheap compared to the supermarkets. Beware that fruit goes ripe very very quickly... I had to throw mine out because it went bad quicker than I could eat it. Definitely put in the fridge.

Jack's is a store in downtown Nadi. I was told over and over (by locals and doing research) that they have the best prices and highest quality. They were right. AND you can bargain with them. Tee shirt prices were reasonable and my friends and I were able to negotiate jewelry prices. The jewelry is not cheap knock offs but better quality if that is what you are looking for. Jack's takes credit cards.

Trying to decide whether to buy produce from Nadi markets or Lautoka?
Written 12 May 2017
It depends where you are..both the market have similar produce but Lautoka is a bit bigger in size.

Is there a good supply of fresh flowers at the markets as we are getting married there in June and want to do our own flowers as the prices we have been quoted are nuts
