Agriculture development partners recently visited vanilla farmers across the North Fly district to discuss the opportunity to transform vanilla beans into a lucrative, cash-earning commodity. The development partners WestAgro Holdings, and Innovative Agro Industries are working in partnership with the Western Provincial Administration.

Representatives from each organisation included the Deputy Provincial Administrator for Resource Development, Rupert Tabua, Eitan Ribak, Fly Vanilla Project Manager and WestAgro Chairman Ian Middleton.

The field visit enabled the agro development partners to better understand the current status of out-grower vanilla cultivation and the challenges farmers are facing. This will allow for future extension services, improved cultivation techniques, and block farmer registration.

The farmers were informed that Fly Vanilla Agro-Industrial Centre in Samagoes and Kiunga will begin buying vanilla beans from May 2022.
