Scientific Officer Antoine Ravo says despite the devastating effects of the natural disaster, many farmers have recovered through farming in which they are able to get good harvests of sweet potato and other root crops.

Recently farmers have enjoyed a harvest of high yielding  sweet potatoes  through a field day conducted jointly by the Vanuatu Department of Agriculture and PNG’s NARI.

Through a field day last week, the National Agricultural Research Institute (NARI) demonstrated several research-based and innovative best practices. 

NARI’s Tambul based regional development co-ordinator Kud Sitango said the event was organized for farmers to acquire new and improved ideas and skills by seeing and learning from exhibitions and demonstrations by agricultural researchers.
