Samoa’s Minister of Agriculture Laaulialemalietoa Leuatea Polataivao Fosi says there’s big demand for frozen taro and other agricultural produce from the islands in New Zealand.
The minister returned home last week after launching the Samoa frozen taro in New Zealand.
He says distributors there are demanding other frozen produce from Samoa such as yams, cassava, breadfruit and bananas.
Laauli says the container of mixed frozen produced shipped to New Zealand sold like hot cakes, and there’s demand for more.
To that end, the Minister has tasked the Nu’u Crops Division in charge of the frozen export drive to put things on full throttle.
He says that with the new export outlet secured, regular shipments will be made to New Zealand.
