Fiji gets $1 million worth of agricultural machinery from South Korea

 

 

Fiji's Ministry of Agriculture and Waterways has received $1 million worth of agricultural machinery from South Korea, providing a major boost to the country's livestock sector.

 

Agriculture Minister Tomasi Tunabuna said the equipment will help farmers tackle feed shortages caused by climate change and natural disasters by improving silage production and feed storage.

 

The machinery, which includes tractors, harvesters, and balers, will modernise pasture management, increase livestock productivity, and reduce reliance on imported feed.

 

Tunabuna thanked the South Korean government for its support, noting that the partnership will strengthen food security and improve rural livelihoods.

 

Acting Korean Ambassador Myongjun Kim said South Korea looks forward to continued cooperation in supporting Fiji's agricultural development.

 

The ministry said the equipment will be deployed through farmer training and extension programmes nationwide.
