Resource information
The World Bank has provided technical
assistance (TA) support to the Government of Samoa to help
identify measures to strengthen agriculture sector
institutions, to improve the performance of selected
commodities - including livestock, fruits and vegetables and
organic products - and to identify strategic agriculture
infrastructure investments. This report provides information
and analysis on opportunities for further development of
organic products. The report also contains recommendations
for activities that could be potentially supported as part
of the proposed Samoa Agriculture Competiveness Enhancement
Project (SACEP). This TA has identified a number of
interventions to support further development of Samoan
organic products. These include promoting domestic-oriented
organic production targeted at the hospitality industry;
support for up-grading and expanding existing value chains
for export-oriented products including Misiluki bananas,
coconut oil and products made from coconut oil; and
investments in improved technology, better facilities, trial
processing, and trial shipments to new destinations.
