🌺Happy World Food Day! Fogālepolo and Joan Lepou of Ifiele'ele Plantation in Upolu, Samoa are promoting good health and nutrition for all ages.🇼🇸

“We run a sustainable and organic plantation because we believe in growing healthy food from soil 🍍to table 🍽 and we want to preserve the land and environment for generations to come. It was important to us that we do as much as we can to reduce food waste which is why we prolong the life of our fruit by producing dried fruit, fruit preserves and most recently our fruity ice pops which have been a hit with all ages. It’s not just about the health benefits of our products – we want to provide nutritious fruit products that taste good!😍” – Fogālepolo and Joan Lepou.

🌱The Lepous produce tropical fruit popsicles made with ingredients sourced from their incredible organic orchard on Upolu. To boost their use of clean energy and increase production of their fruit processing, they will be able to acquire solar panels through the World Bank funded Samoa Agriculture and Fisheries Productivity and Marketing Project (SAFPROM) to power their fruit dryer. 🇼🇸 We are proud to support like Fogālepolo and Joan in support of sustainable and environmentally friendly food processes👩‍🌾, as well as tasty and healthier food choices for Samoans of all ages🧡.
