Samoa and Japan in talks for vanilla and orchid partnership

The initial proposal to this effect was presented by company officials to the Samoa Trust Estates Corporation’s (STEC) Minister, Sala Fata Pinati last week.

And Sala is welcoming the proposal with open arms saying it’s the answer to the Government’s prayers.

“Government especially the Prime Minister has been longing to develop vanilla and orchid to become two of our biggest export commodities,” said Sala.

“With the proposal from Akabira, the possibilities are more than good but achievable.”
