The Matavesi Farm

- Securing a family’s future is a driving force that often dictates the actions of the common working class man and woman.
This fact of life was a factor that motivated the establishment of the Matavesi Farm in Seaqaqa, Vanua Levu as it gave birth to the farm’s matriarch, Losalini Matavesi’s decision to opt for farming rather than
work in an office cubicle.
“Unexpected things can happen at our workplaces, it could come in the form of a dismissal or being told that you are being laid off and often, people are unprepared for these circumstances,” she said.
“You could be giving your all and performing your best at work but all of a sudden, you could be told that your services are no longer required, which is why I always advise that it is best we involve ourselves in other ventures as a back-up if these things do indeed happen and we shouldn’t be taken by surprise when it does.
This thought led Losalini and her husband, Vulaqoro Matavesi to commit themselves to farming as they treaded into unfamiliar territory in 2018 and purchased a 47-acre piece of land at Lalakoro Settlement in Muanidevo.
The Matavesi family hit the ground running and began toiling their land by planting yaqona and pineapple as their main crops and this is their story.

Amazing and an eye opening to all of us.This is simply a practical lecture to so many people who say that there is no life in Fiji and prefers to go to other countries for better life.Yes if you go out for your children's higher education that is a different story altogether.But for most the land is the best place to start and you will find everything that you need from farming.From the Palace the most expensive mansion to the richest man everyone use either cereal root crops fruits and vegetables that is the hard work of a farmer that is looked upon as an inferior member of a community.Remember the Farmers are the ones who feed and move the world that we live in.
