This was revealed during the handing over of project materials to create kava nurseries.
With the initiative of growing more kava in South Tanna, the Government through the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, has stepped in to support the farmers by donating 10,000 poly-bags, four rolls of large green nets and two rolls of fence wire to start kava nurseries.
This also includes 250 posters and awareness information materials on the noble kava varieties.
The farmers are led by Walter Kota, chairman of South Tanna Kava Farmers Association.
