Synopsis (short abstract) The smallholder pig farming project in Niue began implementation in late 2005, after several months of waiting for the project to be cleared, trying to understand the Food & Agriculture Organisation’s (FAO) implementation procedures, and getting national project staff assigned to the project. During the inception phase, project staff needed to be trained on FAO procedures and it was soon realised that staff was needed both for the administration of the project and for technical field w ork. Two staffs of the Dept1 were chosen as project managers to assist in the project, both for the first phase and the extension phase. A National Project Implementation Assistant (NPIA) was recruited in October 2005, after advise from the Regional Project Management Unit (RPMU) to assist the implementation of the project. Project implementation was also supported by four Chinese technicians as part of the South-South Cooperation Programme (SSC).

    Value-added processing of agricultural raw materials produced in Niue has been recognized as a critical factor in boosting the agricultural sector‟s contribution to rebuilding the economy, following the devastation caused by Cyclone Heta in 2004. However, a critical gap is the weak local capacity to undertake value addition and agroprocessing, and to effectively manage small-scale agroprocessing enterprises. In order to address this critical gap, the project TCP/NIU/3302, “Assistance with Proces sing and Value Adding of Agricultural Products” was launched, following a request from the Government of Niue. The project focused on strengthening the knowledge and skills of farming households, and other stakeholders, in the basic principles of value addition, agroprocessing, and agribusiness management and marketing, to ensure the sustainability of the livelihoods of Niuean farming households, and other stakeholders, while contributing to food security in the country.
