In order to highlight the unsustainable harvesting of
Soga and the need to switch to an alternative species, palm
heart consumers have been made aware of the threatened
status of Soga, the Government’s plan to put a moratorium on the sale of Soga palm heart and the plans to introduce a
new species to the market. NFMV has held a public
meeting in Suva specifically advertised for palm heart
consumers and published articles in the national newspapers
on the issue.
