The new line of frozen products included breadfruit, taro, taamu (Alocasia macrorrhiza) and manioc.
The Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF) and the Scientific Research Organisation of Samoa (SROS), Laaulialemalietoa Asiata Leuatea P.F. Schmidt launched the new frozen products in front of some 200 people and Samoan media. Minister Laaulialemalietoa Schmidt said they knew that 90 per cent of people who consumed taro in New Zealand were Samoan and he urged them to consider buying Samoa’s fresh and frozen produce.
