Generally the domestic markets for organic certified products are not very developed and in some cases are nonexistent. Organic products are commonly sold as conventional without premium price or any acknowledgement of the organic status of the product.

Some initiatives are ongoing or are in the pipeline to promote the awareness of the consumers about organic products, in particular in linking the concept of organic with local food consumption as part of strategies to reduce non communicable diseases which are a major health issue in the Pacific Islands.

Interesting opportunities are now being explored within the tourist structures of several countries that are facing a growth in the presence of tourists (e.g. Fiji, Vanuatu, Cooks and Samoa) focusing on development of Pacific cuisine and linking small holder organic farmers directly with tourist and hospitality providers.

There is at least one up market resort in Fiji who has their island organically certified and who commits to serving guests organic produce from their land.
