“You learn a lot when you expose yourself and exposure brings out the potential in you.”
This is the testament of 38-year-old Mesulame Soga of Banikea Village tikina Lekutu in Bua who has advanced from yaqona farming and created a brand to his name.
“I used to drive the village carrier and in 2015 I transported participants of the World Day to Combat Desertification to Nayarabale village in Macuata and it fascinated me that on my way back I promised myself to utilize the land,” he said.
“Upon my desires, I bought planting materials and planted 3,000 yaqona plants to start with on a piece of land closer to home before expanding with the expenses saved from driving the carrier to buy another $500 worth yaqona plants for the second phase,” said Soga.
