He says the landowners should utilise the resources around them but a lot of them do not understand where to go for support.

Th GCC Chair adds that they will put to the members today a suggestion that there should be a representative within each province to link the provincial councils, and that person will be the link to the Ministry of iTaukei Affairs.

Ratu Viliame says they hope to make the iTaukei Affairs a commercial hub which links the landowners and resource owners to their markets.
