This was one of several recommendations in the Ava Awareness Outcomes Report released by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Labour (MCIL) following the completion of two initial awareness programs in Savaii and Upolu.
With the Samoa Ava Regulations and Ava Standard soon to be introduced, consultation programs were held to canvass the views and support of the ava growers and exporters of the quality standard and regulation. The Ava Standard will facilitate safe trade by ensuring product safety and quality standards of ava and ava products for human consumption.
