In a bid to help the landowners utilize the land and generate income, Minister for Fisheries and Forestry Kalaveti Ravu handed over 500 lime plants and 200 coconut seedlings to villages in Talaulia, Kadavu.
While officiating at the handing over, Ravu says it is important to address the poverty among resource owners across the nation and also for resource owners to align themselves with the government's plan to ensure readily available assistance.
Furthermore, he has urged resource owners to consider their future generations and how their investments can be beneficial to them.
Ravu says the establishment of a cooperative was also encouraged among villagers to facilitate government assistance in various sectors.
