Onion farmer

Vanuatu farmer keen to expand onion farm

Alan began planting onions in 2018.

“I planted my onions in April and now I am harvesting them. I am selling them at VT200 per kilo.

“I am expecting to harvest around 100 kilos of onion.

“My interest in planting onion is to ensure that in the future, Vanuatu will not depend on imported onions but to produce its own,” Alan said.

“It is my hope that in the future, more development will emerge on Epi from income that farmers receive from onion production.
