No results found.Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Harold made landfall in Vanuatu on 6 April 2020, causing widespread and severe damage. The National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) estimated that up to 176 161 people had been affected by the cyclone across the country, representing over 63 percent of the national population. Of this population, 143 795 people were located in the worst-affected provinces of Malampa, Penama and Sanma, where the majority are rural people. Food security and rural livelihoods were heavily impacted and in critical need of humanitarian support. In rural areas, over 97 percent of households are engaged in vegetable crop production, with over 73 percent of households producing cash crops, while over 85 percent of households are engaged in livestock production. Rapid technical assessments found that, during Tropical Cyclone Harold, over 80 percent of crops were damaged, and over 50 percent (death rate) of livestock and livestock infrastructure were damaged. In coastal communities, fishing activities are practised by almost 58 percent of households. Damage to fishing boats and engines severely affected fishing activities, which provide a valuable protein and income source. -

ProjectEnhancing local rice production in Fiji - TCP/FIJ/3502 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Rice has been cultivated for many decades in Fiji, and is a major source of food for its population. However, the country’s rice industry has increasingly weakened over these years, as the rice area and production has declined, while rice yield growth has been stagnant or marginal. As a result, the country has had to import more than 80 percent of the total rice demanded annually. Against this background, the Government of Fiji has committed to revitalizing the rice industry and ensuring the reduction of rice imports by 2020. The project aimed to strengthen the capacity of related government departments, staff and farmers, and to provide knowledge and skills to increase the production and productivity of rice crops in Fiji.
