Gaua island

Successful Vanuatu farmer sells peanuts to outer island

Wesau used to harvest peanuts from his farm three times a year producing an average of 400kg per harvest.

The supply was just for Gaua island until 2019 when he started exporting peanuts to Santo island.

The elongated peanut variety with white nuts are very popular and for Gaua to supply peanuts is a new success story because the demand is very high locally despite the low population market.

Wesau is reported to be very happy with the arrival of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development's new tractor on the island.
