Vanuatu Fine Foods

Vanuatu workers snap up 'taste of home'

Vanuatu Fine Foods which processes local foods like taro, cassava and kumara, has found a strong market for its 'meal in a bag' products among ni-Vanuatu working on New Zealand orchards and vineyards.

Cornelia Wyllie set up the company in 2006, sourcing food from 2000 growers of traditional crops around Vanuatu.

"How it started was the families in Vanuatu wanted to send food back to their sons, daughters, husbands and wives in New Zealand that wanted a taste of Vanuatu," she said.
