Strengthening Niue’s Poultry Sector

On Tuesday, 11 August 2026, Village Councils and key stakeholders came together for a successful consultation workshop under FAO’s TCP/SAP/4007 project, focused on strengthening Niue’s poultry egg production.

With 23 participants in attendance, the workshop provided a valuable opportunity to share experiences, ideas, and priorities for the future of Niue’s poultry sector.

Discussions explored food security, local egg production, community needs, and opportunities to strengthen sustainable livelihoods.

A highlight of the workshop was a demonstration of a mobile chicken coop, showcasing a practical approach that could support more flexible and sustainable poultry production in Niue.

🌿 Exploring Markets and Local Food Treasures 🇸🇧

As part of the Agricultural Investment for Markets and Nutrition Project's market research, the project team visited the Central Market in Honiara on 22 August 2026 to meet traders and learn more about local food markets.

From fresh vegetables and fruits to root crops and fish, the market showcased the rich diversity of Solomon Islands produce. The team also sampled the ngali nut, an indigenous, nutritious, and drought-resistant crop with great potential for food security and livelihoods.

Suva, Fiji (25 Aug. 26) — The Economic and Financial Analysis Training for Hand-in-Hand Initiative for Republic of Fiji and Kingdom of Tonga officially opened in Suva, Fiji, bringing together government officers from Tonga and Fiji for a four-day capacity-building programme focused on strengthening investment planning and analysis for agrifood systems transformation.

The training was officially opened by the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Agriculture and Waterways, together with Raushan Kumar, FAO Pacific Hand-in-Hand Initiative focal point, highlighting the importance of training to participants. The programme supports participating countries to develop stronger, evidence-based and bankable investment cases by applying economic and financial analysis tools to priority commodities and value-chain opportunities.

Over the four days, participants will work through core EFA concepts, farm-level and enterprise/value-chain models, sensitivity and risk analysis, and the preparation of investment notes. The hands-on sessions are designed to help countries assess costs, benefits, risks and returns, and translate technical analysis into practical investment proposals.

Through the Hand-in-Hand Initiative, FAO continues to work with Pacific Island countries to advance targeted investment, promote inclusive growth, and support resilient and sustainable agrifood systems across the region. FAO Subregional Coordinator Mr. Guangzhou Qu wishes successful learning and capacity building for the participants.

🌱 What could be the next high-potential agricultural products in the Solomon Islands?

The Agricultural Investment for Markets and Nutrition Project (AIM-N), currently being implemented in the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, is helping identify value chains with the greatest potential to improve livelihoods, nutrition, and market opportunities.

This week, the Project Management Unit (PMU) in Honiara held lively discussions on potential target agricultural products. With so many promising commodities across the country, selecting the most impactful value chains is an exciting challenge!

The conversation continues as multi-stakeholder workshops are planned for Choiseul, Isabel, and Western Provinces in mid to late September. Farmers, government partners, private sector representatives, and communities will help shape the way forward.

👩‍🌾🌴 Which products will emerge as the priorities in each province? Stay tuned as the journey unfolds!

FAO in collaboration with the Vanuatu Primary Producers Authority (VPPA) participated in Agriculture National Agriculture Expo 2026 at the Maewo to promote the Digital Farmer Registry (DFR).

It is an important step toward stronger agricultural planning, better service delivery, and more inclusive support to farmers across Vanuatu.

Through direct engagement with farmers, awareness materials, practical discussions, and localized Bislama communication, the initiative generated strong interest and helped farmers better understand how digital registration can connect them with future agricultural services and opportunities.
