The plantings were donated by another sugarcane farmer, Job Charlie, through the Ministry of Agriculture.
Simbolo said, “This is the first time that I will be investing in sugarcane farming as a potential source of income for my families.”
“I have harvested one hectare of manioc plot and I will be planting sugarcane instead of replanting manioc.”
Simobolo and Charlie are both members of the Efate Sugarcane Farmers’ Association that was recently established on Efate.
