Tahitian limes

Vanuatu Agriculture Department supports increase in production of agricultural produce through commercial farms

The initiative also supports the expansion of planting more Tahitian limes with the use of a tractor for land preparation.

Tropical plantation was located on Santo Island and supplied most of its Tahitian limes to the supermarkets, resorts, and restaurants in Luganville town.

The farm has the potential and capacity to export its Tahitian limes to overseas markets under the national export programme of Tahitian limes as required by the national export pathway.

The limes were harvested from a farm at Paonagisu Village in North Efate last weekend and were bought at 200 VT per kilogramme.

The export of Tahitian limes in the past was led by a private sector with limited support from the Government thus affecting market requirements.

This time the Government through the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD), Department of Industry and Department of Biosecurity worked closely with the Dynamic suppliers.
