The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF) in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) and stakeholders organised a Poultry Market Day in Savaii.
Today’s event is a first of its kind, says the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries in celebration of Poultry Market Day.
The aim is to bring together chicken farmers to help realize the potential marketability of the local chicken either for breeding or for consumption.
It is an opportunity for them to exchange views, test the agreed selling price for their products, meet and greet clients and share knowledge and experience with interested members of the public. The market day is seen as a platform for poultry farmers to enhance visibility of poultry products and to deliver on consumer expectations.
This activity was made possible through FAO Technical Cooperation Project titled: “Support to address vulnerabilities to agriculture, nutrition and food security due to COVID-19”.
