Minister for Tourism Sala Fata Pinati says there is a need to make better connections between farmers and tourism business owners.
“We have been planning it for some time now but we have not yet made it work. So this forum is the first act by the Samoan Government to start making these plans reality,” Pinati said at the Agritourism Policy Setting Forum.
Samoa imports about $214 million tala worth of goods, fruits and vegetables annually.
That accounts for 20% of the cost of imported products.
