| dc.description | The global and local effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been felt throughout the entire agrifood system. Samoa experienced unique challenges given its geographic isolation and economic reliance on agriculture and tourism. Presently, local farmers still grapple with limited access to essential production inputs such as seeds, fertilizers and livestock breeders, among others. In response, the Government of Samoa has reemphasized the critical role agriculture plays in ensuring the well-being of its citizens, especially during crises. Therefore, the government has identified key priority areas for interventions, namely crop and the small-scale livestock sectors. These priorities aim to provide both short and long-term solutions to prevent a reoccurrence of the economic downturn experienced during COVID-19. The proposed solutions involve identifying potential production areas within Samoa for chicken, eggs, fish, fruits and vegetables, and determining where technical assistance can make a meaningful impact. | |
