| Description: |
Jope Qaqanayavusabotitu is a 45 year old farmer from Rara Nalotawa Ba, now living on the farm he established in Marinitawa since 2016. He began farming pineapple in 2017 and now has one of the biggest farms in the area. With the support of IFAD's Pacific Island Rural and Agriculture Stimulus Facility (PIRAS) and its implementing partner Rise Beyond the Reef, he was able to establish a nursery and an irrigated area for cash crop farming as well as purchase a biogas generator which produces enough organic fertiliser for his use by the community of farmers in the Marinitawa Cluster. The aim of PIRAS is to mitigate the effects of COVID and take steps toward livelihood recovery which includes the provision of planting materials and land preparation. |
