When you make a living from the land, this is where most end up – market. Before the COVID days came along, the Fugalei or Salelologa market was the place to go.
Most still do but more and more farmers are setting up small stalls at home, to sell their plantation or vegetable garden produce on the side of the road.
The fishing community is doing that too. These new changes are all being encourage for firstly health security reasons and secondly for much needed sources of revenue.
Loss of jobs especially in the tourism industry and the economic slowdown are serious worries facing everyone and every country with the spread of the pandemic.
Hats off to the way people are fired up to work the land. The fruits of their own hard labour is uplifting. The fruits of one’s labour is music to please beyond a farmers heart.
