Grant Description
In 2014, the Chinese Government provided a grant to the Government of Samoa for Phase 3 of the China-Samoa Agricultural Demonstration Farm Project. The monetary value of the grant commitment is unknown.
The purpose of Phase 3 was to provide farming machinery, repair damage to buildings causes by Cyclone Evan in 2012, establish an agricultural technology station (complete with irrigation tanks, greenhouses, and vegetable sheds) in the village of Falelatai on Upolu Island, and showcase agricultural technologies that can be used by farmers.
The ultimate aim of the project was to improve local farmers' earnings and enhance food security by reducing reliance on imported foods and encouraging the transfer and adoption of modern and more effective agricultural practices to village farmers. Hunan Provincial Agricultural Foreign Economic Cooperation Center was the contractor responsible for implementation.
Phase 3 commenced in 2014.
The Falelatai agricultural station was officially inaugurated on October 11, 2016 and then handed over to the local authorities from October 15, 2016 to October 16, 2016.
