Resumen

Descripción

The Solomon Islands Government (SIG) has repeatedly recognised food import dependence as a challenge to food security and economic growth. Import substitution has been a long-term policy priority for the SIG, including policy measures within the Agriculture, Trade, Commerce and Health sectors. Current policy supporting food import substitution includes agricultural production measures, including for home gardening, investment in domestic infrastructure and markets, linkages to enhance access to domestically produced foods, measures to encourage food processing by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and efforts to strengthen consumer demand through public awareness.
