FIJI DALO QUALITY MANUAL

Dalo or taro (Colocasia esculenta) is an important staple food for Fijians and most Pacific Islanders. It plays an important role in Fiji’s economy as the second largest agricultural export commodity. The Fiji Dalo Quality Manual provides a one stop shop of technical information for farmers. It highlights best practices of growing taro with quality that is maintained along the value chain, for both domestic and export markets. It will also help stakeholders to better equip themselves with information and advice to advance in the dalo industry. The manual clearly suggests nothing can be achieved in isolation. It will take concerted effort and teamwork by all stakeholders for its successful implementation.
