Sheep-Raising Plan
p. 67 · Read in the full issue
For Fiji
The Fiji Government proposes to import a flock of 250 sheep from New Zealand to start a sheep raising industry at Nawaicoba, in the foothills near Nadi.
Expenditure of £F6,300 has been approved for the first stages of the project. Most of the money will come from a £13,000 grant from Britain.
The flock for Nawaicoba will be the second to be imported into Fiji from New Zealand in the last two years. In April, 1963, a small flock was imported for sheep-rearing ex periments on Vanua Levu.
