Vaatausili Nansen was initially unsure about the response he would get about his display of elei materials and dresses during the 2nd Pacific Agribusiness Forum in Apia.
“To my surprise, I have received just a few buyers from New Zealand and Australia. But most of my earning came from other Pacific island buyers and it’s a relief because I thought It was going to be a failure standing out here trying to sell Samoan clothing and designs to our neighboring Pacific islands,” he said.
Nansen made more than $1,500 tala in the past two days of the conference.
