Vanuatu MALFFB signs PPSA with local institution to begin cyclone and COVID-19 disaster recovery

The seedlings will be distributed to disaster-hit communities.

The Vanuatu Agriculture Research and Technical Centre (VARTC) will produce coconut, fruit trees and spices seedlings by August 2020, while the Vanuatu Agriculture College (VAC) is engaged to produce eighty thousand seedling trays by June 2020.

When signing the PPSA on Friday 17 April 2020 in Santo, the Director General for MALFFB Moses Amos reiterated the fact that re-planting fallen trees and crops must start now instead of waiting for imported food to sustain livelihood for the next quarter.
