Minister maps out agriculture future in Vanuatu

Vanuatu has taken a step forward by encouraging farmers around the country to produce potatoes, onion, carrots and other new crops.

Traditional crops grown are yams, taro, sweet potatoes and bananas.

The Vanuatu Agriculture Sector Policy says the government is conscious of the potential role that the agriculture sector has in providing leverage for the sustained development of the tourism industry, manufacturing industry and the social and economic and ecological well-being of Vanuatu as a whole.
