This report provides information and analysis on opportunities for further development of organic products. The report also contains recommendations for activities that could be potentially supported as part of the proposed Samoa Agriculture Competiveness Enhancement Project (SACEP). This TA has identified a number of interventions to support further development of Samoan organic products. These include promoting domestic-oriented organic production targeted at the hospitality industry; support for up-grading and expanding existing value chains for export-oriented products including Misiluki bananas, coconut oil and products made from coconut oil; and investments in improved technology, better facilities, trial processing, and trial shipments to new destinations.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONBANANASBANK LOANSBRANDCAPACITY BUILDINGCERTIFICATION COSTSCERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTSCERTIFICATION SERVICESCHEMICAL FERTILIZERSCOCOACOCONUTCOCONUT OILCOFFEECOMMODITYCOMPETITIVENESSCONSUMERSCONTRACT FARMINGCROPDEVELOPMENT STRATEGYDOMESTIC MARKETDOMESTIC MARKETSECOLOGYEGGPLANTENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSEXPORT CROPSEXPORT MARKETEXPORT MARKETINGEXPORT MARKETSEXPORTSEXTENSIONFAIRFAIR TRADEFAIR TRADE LABELINGFAOFARMFARM ENTERPRISEFARM LANDFARMERFARMERSFARMING SYSTEMSFARMSFIELD TRIALSFISHERIESFOOD PROCESSINGFOOD SAFETYFOOD SECURITYFRUITSGOVERNMENT REGULATIONGREEN MANURE CROPSINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTSLIVESTOCKLIVESTOCK PRODUCTSMANUAL WEEDINGMARKET ACCESSMARKET DEMANDMARKET DEVELOPMENTMARKET RESEARCHMARKET SURVEYSMARKETINGNATURAL REGENERATIONNATURAL RESOURCESNGOSORGANIC AGRICULTUREORGANIC AGRICULTURE MOVEMENTSORGANIC FARMINGORGANIC FARMSORGANIC MARKETORGANIC MARKETSORGANIC PRODUCTIONOVERHEAD COSTSPAPAYAPAWPAWPESTICIDEPESTSPOST HARVEST TREATMENTPREMIUM PRICESPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCEPRODUCER GROUPSPRODUCTION SYSTEMPURCHASINGRETAILSALESALESSEEDLINGSSEEDSSMALL BUSINESSSMALL FARMERSSOILSSPREADSUPPLIERSUPPLY CHAINTAROTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETRADE FAIRSVEGETABLESWorld Bank10.1596/12840
