Samoa Rum bound for int'l shelves

 Prime Minister Tuilaepa promoting Samoa Rum

Apia, SAMOA — Samoa’s very our very own, Samoa Rum, will soon make its debut on the international airport duty free shelves.

This was announced by the Government in a statement issued on Friday.

Samoa Rum is the latest achievement by the Scientific Research Organisation of Samoa (S.R.O.S.) at Nafanua.

Prime Minister Tuilaepa Dr. Sa’ilele Malielegaoi said this is a very positive step.

“I encourage S.R.O.S. to continue to deliver and come up with more added value products for exports and our local market and most importantly to use our local agricultural produces,” he said.

“I have been informed the S.R.O.S. is continuing their research for more liquor products such as liqueurs. The possibilities are endless”

“Government has not been blinded by the strict overseas quarantine regulations and S.R.O.S. is our answer.”

And to complete the equation for a joint successful export drive between government and the private sector, Prime Minister again challenged the business community to develop partnership with S.R.O.S. by investing in the new added value products developed by the organisation.

“Government has done its part – through S.R.O.S. – by developing these products. We now need private businesses to come in and commercialize the flour, the oil, the subsequent butter and margarine from local crop staples,” said the Prime Minister.
