He says taro, bananas and sweet potatoes are being distributed by the Land Grant Division in conjunction with the Agriculture Department. Also proving very popular is tilapia farming.
Aufa’i said that Land Grant is very pleased with the initiative by the Office of Samoan Affairs to promote subsistence farming and fishing during the village inspections currently underway.
