In 2015, Veresa Fung was handed the responsibility to manage his late father’s farm – Fung’s Farm.
He was only 18 years old, he took on that responsibility with the help from his family who followed on with his father’s passion to do organic farming.
Seven years later, the 25-year-old lad from Bua has done wonders creating a positive avenue for many businesses, communities and children in different schools.
Fung’s Farm based at Tokotoko Back Road in Navua, began operations in 2013 as seedlings raisers.
It has now ventured into farm consultation, organic consultation, organic fertilizers formulation, organic demo farm setups farmscaping, landscaping agri business development, organic agriculture trainings and capacity building.
Mr Fung said the business has also trained 548 farmers with about 83 per cent of the farmers being women, which was encouraging to see.
Where in Fiji you would take Visitors to?
Yasawa’s Island.
The sunniest and driest part of Fiji, enjoying tropical warmth and ideal ocean temperatures all year round, and the least amount of rainfall even in Fiji’s wetter months.
