Fijivillage's article is stamped 29 October 2026. It says the Vesivuru farm "was discovered earlier this week" and gives no day for it or for the Nawi find. The item uses the day of publication.
Quantities
The headline says "More than 1,600" and the text gives two farms: "more than 1,500 plants" at Vesivuru and "more than 100 plants" at Nawi. The total is the sum of the two lower bounds, and the stored figure of 1,600 is that sum, not an exact count.
Category
The article says the plants were "discovered" and "believed to be marijuana". It does not say they were uprooted, seized or burned, so the item is recorded as Enforcement and not as Eradication.
Related news items
The same article reports other drug-related incidents in the Western, Eastern and Southern Divisions and in Labasa, and gives the arrest of a 38-year-old man in the Nawi paragraph. Those incidents are not recorded in this news item.
Map pin
Wikidata has no entry for the Vesivuru or Nawi farming areas. The pin is Wikidata's point for the Northern Division (Q1062430), rounded to two decimals, and marks the division, not the farms.
