The week-long programme starting today is one of government’s initiatives to promote import substitution.
The programme also encourages farmers to plant onions and carrots.
Potato seeds for the potato planting programme arrived from suppliers in New Zealand and were sent to Tanna.
In a brief ceremony after arriving into his team base at White Beach Bungalows on Tanna, Minister Seremaiah unveiled a first ever Ministry Logo, printed on T-shirts that the team will be using this week for the Potato Planting Program.
