New Zealand distributors demand

Strong overseas demand for Samoa's frozen agro-products

The Minister of Agriculture Laaulialemalietoa Leuatea Polataivao Fosi recently returned from New Zealand where he launched frozen taro from Samoa.

“The container of mixed frozen produced shipped to New Zealand sold like hot cupcakes,” said the Minister.

“And they want more.”

To that effect, the Minister has tasked the Nu’u Crops Division in charge of the frozen export drive for all systems go.

Laaulialemalietoa says that with the new export outlet secured, regular shipments will be made to New Zealand.
