🌿 International Public Service Day 2026 🌿

Today, the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries proudly joins the Samoa Public Service Commission in celebrating the "International Public Service Day"; a moment to recognize the dedication and contributions of those who work each day to support the development and wellbeing of our nation.

As we mark this occasion, we pay special tribute to our long-serving employees whose years of service, perseverance, and professionalism have helped shape the Ministry and strengthen the Agriculture and Fisheries Sector. Your efforts, sacrifice, and passion for serving Samoa have made a lasting impact, and we sincerely thank you for the role you continue to play in advancing our work.

We also extend our appreciation to our stakeholders, farmers, fishers, communities, private sector partners, and development agencies. Through your ongoing cooperation and shared vision, you have become an integral part of the progress achieved across the sector. The partnerships we have built together continue to create opportunities, drive innovation, and support sustainable growth for Samoa.

On this International Public Service Day, we celebrate the people whose work often happens behind the scenes, yet whose contributions help move our country forward. May this day serve as a reminder that every effort matters, every contribution is valued, and every achievement is made possible through working together.

Fa'afetai tele lava mo la outou tautua ma le lagolagosua.

Ending this week on a high note 🎵🫡

Working together with our Mauga Catholic Church Group in promoting sustainable farming and healthy diet is an ongoing service of our Crops Division.

The group were fortunate to receive some vegetable seedlings today from the Ministry to utilise their tunnel houses already installed.

Hands on training in bedding, planting, farm management and germination has been conducted to further equip group members in sustainable vegetable farming.

Vegetable training and on-field demonstration of bedding and planting for Satuiatua Women's Committee.

Our Ministry in Savaii was able to conduct a very brief and valuable training on vegetable farming and controlling pests and diseases for the Satuiatua Women's Committee.

They also received seedlings from the Ministry to start their development to await their requested funds from donor partners aiming for tunnel houses to achieve their committee's objectives in practising sustainable farming, providing a healthy diet for their families, tackling the high cost of living lastly, earning income for their committee's future projects.

Today marks the successful completion of stakeholder consultations with the Ministry’s valued partners in Upolu, an important milestone in the Terminal Review of the Agriculture and Fisheries Sector Plan (AFSP) 2022/2023–2026/2027.

These collective discussions have provided rich insights to guide the future of Samoa’s agriculture and fisheries sector.

While one-on-one consultations remain underway, we extend our gratitude to all partners for their active participation and continued commitment to building a resilient and sustainable sector for our people and communities.
