Samoa Farmers Co-operative

ABOUT SAMOA FARMERS COOPERATIVE

​

​Samoa's farming system is still largely based on the traditional practice of mixed cropping. Samoan agriculture can be classified into three categories: subsistence farming, semi-commercial and commercial farming. The majority of farmers in Samoa fall into the subsistence category with surplus sold for cash. The Samoa Farmers Cooperative engages with families involved in subsistence farming to take surplus goods to export allowing for maximised income for small farmers increasing their family outcomes in health education and general development. The SFC also work with the small farmers to encourage the growth of crops that will bring the best rewards while promoting sustainability and environmental management.
