AROUND 200 cattle are expected to arrive soon in Marovo Lagoon, at Cuba.

This should complete the proposed 400 heads for the project.

According to Mr John Kepas, the Principal Agriculture Field Officer in Gizo Town, a cattle shipment taken to Marovo Lagoon from Honiara last year only contained about 200 cattle in which the real total amount of cattle’s that should have been brought there was 400.

“So it is this time around the total number of cattle’s to complete the number will be brought in from Fiji,” said Mr Kepas.

According to the Agriculture Officer, the cattle project in Marovo Lagoon is under the “PPP” partnership project between Malaita, Guadalcanal and Western Provinces.
