The Tei Tei Taveuni group of farmers has thanked the Ministry of Agriculture for securing the premises for its new office.
The Tei Tei Taveuni Resource Centre to be opened by the Minister of Agriculture at the end of the month will have internet facilities where farmers can meet and exchange ideas.
Minister for Agriculture, Inia Seruiratu said that government was pleased to be of assistance to the group.
“Initially the assistance from Government was the provision of a space at Mua Research Station. Now we have given them the old Government Supplies office to establish their resource centre,” Mr Seruiratu said.
The group chairman, Alan Petersen said they were grateful to the ministry for assistance in securing a new site for the resource centre.
“We are very grateful to the Minister who was instrumental in securing the premises for this centre,” Mr Petersen said.
Mr Seruiratu added that Taveuni was also part of the next Look North Policy Plan by Government.
