Rural taro farmers in Malaita Province welcome the news that Goshen Enterprise Ltd in the province is now back to its service of buying taro.

Goshen resumed its services after the long-waited arrival of it’s industrial-grade taro processing machines at its Adaliua Packhouse.

The arrival of the new machinery is expected to resolve a key bottleneck in the production process. 

“We are incredibly pleased to see the machinery finally in place.

“This means we can move forward with our plans to ramp up production and provide a reliable market for our hardworking taro farmers,” a Goshen Enterprise spokesperson said.

In the meantime, Joan Walton calls on the farmers to cooperate and work together with them as they are trying to significantly boost its efficiency, increase its processing capacity, and meet the rising demand for frozen taro products.

She said that through cooperation and working together, they can achieve their goal.

“I want to call on taro farmers in the West, East, and Central Kwara’ae and elsewhere in Malaita that we are now resuming buying taro.

“We will start by next week. And I just want to appeal for cooperation and working together among all farmers.

“I encourage every farmer to cooperate, whether you are an old farmer or a new farmer,” she said.

The arrival of the machinery marks a major milestone for the local agribusiness and its network of outgrowers, addressing previous operational delays and paving the way for increased production.

Goshen Enterprise is not only focusing on taro buying, but it is also creating jobs, empowering local farmers and paving the way for a more robust and sustainable taro industry in Malaita.
