The project would introduce an agricultural technology and management package to Western Samoa through WSTEC and provide for initial steps to transfer this package to village areas in the island of Savai'i, the least developed area of the country albeit with the highest development potential. The project would provide investments in the island of Savai'i for: nurseries, imported planting materials, and field development for coconuts, cocoa and coffee; technical assistance for the development of these crops and agricultural diversification; marketing of taro (a root crop) produced by the villages; construction of estate roads and improvement of the southern coastal road; project administration; and monitoring/evaluation, surveys, studies and preparation of a second phase of development.
