The supplies include protein like eggs and fresh fish as well as canned products.

As part of its recovery plan, the MALFFB FSAC team through the Department of Fisheries, has deployed two boats to assist with supplies of fresh fish to affected communities.One boat is  ‘Serenity’, that belongs to a commercial fishing company and ‘Tuaku’ that belongs to the Fisheries Department. Both boats left Port Vila this week for the northern ports on islands affected by cyclone Harold.

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.
