Over the next six months, more Vanuatu farmers will be receiving payments for root crops that are exported to New Zealand.
A farmer from Epule was the first to receive payment for contribution towards 12 tons of cassava and six tons of taro to New Zealand.
It was an historical event for the farmer who has traditionally relied on sales at the Port Vila municipality market
The export was made possible by the National Export Development programme with the full support of the Government.
