Improving agro production in Rotuma remains one of the focus areas for the Rotuma Affairs Unit under the Prime Minister’s Office.
A consultant in the Prime Minister’s Office, Tomasi Tui, said this came after the quarantine treatment of non fruit fly commodities such as pineapples and watermelons.
“These fruits have to be treated first before any export to Tuvalu can be carried out,” Mr Tui said.
“Vegetables such as dalo leaves, bele and cabbage will also be treated.”
Rotuma Export Council chairman, Hiagi Foraete said that exports to Tuvalu began in 2011 with five export shipments, netting FJ$69,000 in revenue.
The council also exported to the Agriculture Marketing Authority in Suva.
