“In order to contribute to the recovery of the people’s livelihood from the disasters caused by Tropical Cyclone Harold and the closure of borders due to COVID-19, the government through the Council of Ministers, has for the first time allocated Vt150 million as subsidy to support the purchasing price of commodities such as kava, coffee, cocoa, taro, manioc, am and sweet potatoes,” Minister Bule said.

He said more details on how buyers/exporters and farmers can access and benefit from this subsidy will be publicly communicated by Department of Industry officers.
