What is your business idea?
Our business idea revolves around producing organic root crop packages that is available and
avoidable to everyone.
What inspired this idea?
We were inspired during a trip to New Zealand back in 2017, were we bought few manioc packages from a super market which is a Fiji made product, this arouses a question, why Vanuatu is not capable to involve in this part of the market at the time and still is particularly on root crops.
Then comes covid-19 , when most businesses close down forcing hundreds to thousands of our people jobless, and we have decided to start somewhere at least taking baby steps intending to participate in rebuilding our nations’ economy.
