Before we started buying fresh produce, we saw expat owned businesses buying local food at Vt50 to Vt80 per KG.

During that time, no local objected to those businesses buying their produce at that rate. We dont know why but think because they are expats so the locals respect them and sell at that rate.

We promised to raise the price once we started buying and we have and guess what? Even for better prices the locals started complaining and saying 'sell out copra lo backsaed"

We purchase per KG above Vt150 for each produce and yet the locals come and complain? How about you demand same rates from the expats that buy from you.

We will give you an example: Cocoa is bought in Malekula at Vt180. We will start buying Cocoa late September at Vt300 per KG.

Don't speak if you don't know what we have done to local prices.

Cyclone Season 2020 - 2021 has started in Vanuatu.
Families in the communities whether in the urban or rural settings should now be preparing real fast to meet any upcoming Tropical Cyclones.
As we all know that our nation's archipelago sits right in the pathway of any tropical cyclone, it is highly recommended we take necessary precautions in addressing and applying the standard preparedness meausures around and in our homes.
