In 2012, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry, Fisheries, and Biosecurity (MALFFB), developed the macro-level oerarching Productive Sector Policy (OPSP) which aims for improved efficiency and performance resulting in significant broad-based growth outcomes for all productive sectors.

This Agriculture Sector Policy expands upon the directions and guidance provided by the OPSP and further elaborates micro level policy directives and strategies of specific relevance to Agriculture.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry, Fisheries and Biosecurity (MALFFB) is enthusiastic to see the nation's agricultural, forestry and aquatic resources are sustainable and managed efficiently, and that these resources make a significant contribution to the country's economic growth and wellbeing of the people of Vanuatu.

The government through the Ministry recognizes the role of women and youth and vulnerable groups in agriculture. Net growth of the private sector and its subsequent leadership in driving their respective industries is one of the key aims of the Ministry.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry, Fisheries and Bio-security sectors 2014 - 2018 Corporate Plan was launched in 2014.

This new management tool designed to help guide each department carry out key policy directions will ultimately ensure that the goals and visions of the government are filtered down to the rural farmers of Vanuatu.

This new leadership tool will no doubt increase the productivity of all five sectors in all of the islands of Vanuatu.
