SUVA, May 9 (Xinhua) -- Fiji faces a shortage of fresh milk supply from dairy farmers since the recent outbreak of Tuberculosis (TB).

Fiji Dairy Limited confirmed Thursday that there is a shortage of supply of milk from local farmers and has caused the recent shortage of Rewa Life Milk in local supermarkets.

According to Fijivillage website, Fiji Dairy Limited said that the recent Tuberculosis outbreak in dairy cattle has impacted the supply of milk from local farmers.

Fiji's Ministry of Agriculture had tested 33,839 cattle for Bovine Tuberculosis and more than 1,000 cattle tested positive.
