Farmers living in the province of Rewa, Tailevu and Naitasiri now have a better way to market their produce following the opening of the new Agriculture Marketing Authority office in Nausori Town.
Minister for Agriculture Inia Seruiratu says this will enable agriculture to remain competitive and take advantage of business opportunities.
The Agriculture Marketing Authority Office now has a new boat for outreach to communities and help in the transportation of produce.
Meanwhile, the Authority will be exporting its first consignment of a number of assorted commodities such as Uto (Breadfruit), Ivi (Chestnut), Bele, Kai (Freshwater Mussels) and fish.
The construction of the new office and purchase of the boat was made possible through the grant given to the Agriculture Marketing Authority by the government.
