He said Boer goats are originally from South Africa and considered by many to have the finest and tastiest meat in the world.
He said the importation of 60 Boer Goats from Australia by Palmlea Farms of Tabia, Labasa would in cross breeding with local goats and it would be worthwhile for farmers in Fiji to get involved in the initiative.
Ratu Epeli said the Interim government had gone into a partnership with Palmlea farms in the Boer goat breeding program and hopes to distribute the new breed to farmers in the near future.
