The agriculture sector faces various challenges, including limited access to suitable land, climate change, and the lack of infrastructure. Despite these challenges, the sector has made significant progress, with the production of major crops such as kava, copra, and cocoa increasing in recent years. This growth demonstrates the potential of the sector to contribute significantly to Vanuatu’s economic development. High quality agricultural statistics are essential in facilitating targeted policy interventions that address productivity constraints, improve market access, and encourage investment in the sector. Additionally, measure to improve data collections and analysis can facilitate better-informed decision-making that advances the agriculture sector potential in Vanuatu.
