This comes after Cyclone Winston destroyed most of the country's kava crop last year and was followed by regular flooding giving farmers a hard time.
The Fiji kava council earlier this month said some markets had stopped selling kava and where it was available it was being sold for more than $US40 a kilogram which was described as a 76 percent increase.
Fiji kava exporter Snehal Morris of Bilo Sinai Kava said if nothing was done to control kava prices in the country; businesses like hers would lose access to overseas markets.
"We need to look at how we kind of manage the industry properly. I really have strong fears that if we don't manage kava prices well right now."
"We are going to lose quite a bit of our kava exports into markets. Because a lot of markets are simply not going to be able to afford it."
