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 MALFFB is comprised of 5 departments:
Minister of Agriculture - Willie Daniel Kalo
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.
