Fijian Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka in his recent visit to PNG, was given the opportunity to visit the Innovative Agro Industry’s farms over the weekend.

The Prime Minister and his delegates began their tour at the Ilimo Dairy Farm at 14 mile, outside of Port Moresby.

They were given a tour of the milking parlor and the production facility, where they witnessed first-hand the different processes of producing milk and other Ilimo products.

The Fijian Delegates ended their tour at the 9 mile vegetable farm.

They had the opportunity to visit the green houses, where various vegetables are grown, including the advanced drip irrigation and climate control systems.

The Prime Minister was impressed with the tour, saying it was an eye opener for them.

“I am sure the official delegation will take back with them a lot from this visit, and try to incorporate them into the Agro Industries at home,” said Prime Minister Rabuka.

The Innovative Agro Industries was first established in 2011, and they are involved in  a wide range of activities such as farming, greenhouses, poultry and dairy.

AIA Executive Director, Ilan Weiss said the visit is an opportunity for them to showcase the progress and advancement in the fields of agriculture and food production.

“It is always an honor for us to show dignitaries visiting the country, what we do. We took a lot of pride in what we do, and there’s a lot of passion put into our work.

“It is agriculture, it is a long term investment.” The Executive Director said.
