O mataupu o le gaosiga o meaʻai, faiga faʻavae mo le atinaʻeina o faʻatoʻaga, ma le saogalemu o meaʻai e masani ona maualuga i luga o le "Lisi Faʻamuamua" a le itulagi Tele Caribbean. O fa'ato'aga o lo'o va'aia o se vaega taua i le tele o atunu'u tetele o le Karipiane, ae maise lava i le fa'avasegaina o le tamaoaiga na tula'i mai i le tele o tausaga talu ai, ma le tula'i mai ma le fa'atupula'ia o isi vaega e pei o turisi ma auaunaga fa'apolofesa. Ae ui i lea, o nisi, ua matua fautuaina e faapea o le vaega o faatoaga i totonu o le itulagi ua vave ona paʻu. Ae i taimi talu ai nei, faatasi ai ma popolega faʻafuaseʻi o le faʻaauauina o meaʻai, saogalemu o meaʻai, ma tau o mea taumafa o loʻo faʻaleagaina ai le tele o atunuu Karipiane Tele, o loʻo i ai le toe faʻafouina o le lagolago ma atinaʻe e taulaʻi i faʻatoaga. "O le atinaʻeina o faʻatoʻaga o loʻo toe maua o se elemene taua o le tuputupu aʻe o le tamaoaiga." (William ma Smith, 2009)
Ua fa'ailoa mai o le atina'eina o le vaega o fa'ato'aga o le a iai sona aafiaga taua i le gaosiga o taumafa i totonu o le atunu'u, saogalemu o taumafa, fa'aitiitia le fa'alagolago i taumafa mai fafo, ma le manuia lautele o le tamaoaiga ma agafesootai. O le talitonuga a Sir Arthur Lewis e uiga i le atinaʻeina o le tamaoaiga o se pou autu "le taua o sapalai o meaʻai i le faatumauina o le tuputupu aʻe o le tamaoaiga." Na vaʻaia e Lewis le atinaʻeina o faʻatoʻaga o se vaega taua o le tuputupu aʻe i le tamaoaiga. Williams ma Smith i la latou pepa, “Rethinking Agricultural Development: The Caribbean Challenge,” o loo taʻua ai e faapea, “faatasi ai ma le tele o malosiaga ua toe suia ai faatoaga ma faatasi ai ma le faaauauina o le faalagolago i oloa faaulufale mai, o se toe mafaufau i le atinaeina o faatoaga i le Atu Karipiane, (ma le faaopoopo atu o le Greater Caribbean) e matua manaʻomia lava.
I le taimi nei ua fa'amalosia i tatou e fesili, "O a ni ta'iala e mafai ona fa'aaoga lelei e maua ai tupe maua ma tupe maua mai fa'ato'aga ua matua mana'omia?" E le fou i le itulagi fuafuaga tau atinae tau faatoaga; i le onosefulu tausaga talu ai, sa tulituliloa e le Atu Karepiane le tele o fuafuaga agai i le faalauiloaina ma le tuputupu ae o le vaega. "O le luʻitau o loʻo feagai ma le au fai faiga faʻavae o le faʻatulagaina lea o fuafuaga fou tau faʻatoʻaga e faʻaleleia ai fua o faʻatoʻaga, faʻaleleia le gaosiga o meaʻai i totonu o le atunuʻu, ma faʻaleleia le manuia lautele o le tamaoaiga." (Williams and Smith, 2009) E tatau ona i ai le amanaʻiaina o fesoʻotaʻiga vavalalata i luma ma tua i le va o faʻatoʻaga ma isi pisinisi, faʻapea foʻi ma fesoʻotaʻiga loloto i le va o faʻatoʻaga, fefaʻatauaʻiga, tuputupu aʻe o le tamaoaiga, ma atinaʻe. O le tuputupu aʻe i le vaega o faʻatoʻaga e iai le avanoa, o le mea lea, e saofagā ai i le faʻalauteleina o le faʻagasologa o agro-processing, tuʻuina atu auala fou mo le faʻafouina, tuʻuina atu isi afi afi o le tuputupu aʻe, faʻalauiloaina o gaosiga i le lotoifale, ma avanoa e suitulaga ai oloa mai fafo.
O lea la, e tatau i faiga fa'avae ona fa'atatau i gaioiga e: fa'aaoga ai le tulaga fa'atauva a le itulagi, aemaise le tamaoaiga o ana punaoa faanatura; faatosina atili tupe teufaafaigaluega, ma faateleina le gaosiga o taumafa ma le saogalemu o taumafa a le itulagi; ma "valaau mo se faiga e sili atu ona tu'ufa'atasia ma atoatoa, lea o faiga fa'avae tau fefa'ataua'iga o lo'o i ai se sao tutotonu fa'atasi ma isi faiga fa'avae, atunu'u, ma fa'aitulagi."
I le atunu'u ma le fa'aitulagi, o lo'o fa'atupuina fuafuaga, ta'iala, ma fa'agaioiga fa'ato'aga, lea e va'aia ai fa'ato'aga o se mea taua tele tau tamaoaiga ma agafesootai. O le Association of Caribbean States (ACS) e ala i ana faʻatonuga o le galulue faʻatasi ma le tuʻufaʻatasia o gaioiga, e lagolagoina le atinaʻeina o ia faʻamoemoega o loʻo latou autu e saili e faʻaleleia le tamaoaiga ma agafesootai o le tele o le Caribbean community.
Aemaise lava i le vaega o faatoaga, o le ACS i le galulue faatasi ma le malo o Kolomupia, ma le faalapotopotoga CLAYUCA, ua manatu o se fuafuaga lelei le ofoina atu o se vasega faava o malo i le "Modern Technologies for Cassava Production, Processing and Utilization" e lagolago ai le atinae gafataulimaina o le fua o manioka i le itulagi Tele Caribbean.
O le manioka e maualuga lona tulaga i fua o fa'ato'aga tetele e gaosia ma fa'atauina i le itulagi. O se puna taua o le malosi taugofie, ma o loʻo i ai foi le maualuga o vitamini ma minerale. Ole fua ole manioka e masani ona gaosia, gaosia, fa'atau, ma fa'atau atu ile tulaga o nu'u laiti i tua. Ae ui i lea, o fuala'au manioka e le'i fa'ailoa mai i tala fa'asolopito mai le au fai faiga fa'avae, su'esu'ega fa'ato'aga a le atunu'u, faiga fa'atekonolosi fa'ato'aga, ma tagata foa'i.
Talu ai ona o le tele o atunuu i le itulagi o le Caribbean o loʻo feagai nei ma se luʻitau e faʻaitiitia ai le tele o mea taumafa e tatau ona faʻaulufale mai e faʻafetaui ai le siʻitia o manaʻoga o le faitau aofaʻi ma vaega o alamanuia, o le aʻoaʻoga e ala i le taulaʻi patino i le manioka e avea o se faʻatoʻaga pailate e faʻamoemoe e aafiaga i luga o le fuafuaina ma le faatinoina o faiga faavae tau atinae o faatoaga e taulai i le unaia o le gaosiga o taumafa i totonu o le atunuu o loo faaaogaina e le toatele, faapea foi ma le uunaia o le faateleina o le taumafaina o taumafa o loo gaosia i totonu o le atunuu e ala i le ofoina atu o aoaoga ma aafiaga faatino ma le faamoemoe e mafai ona faaliliuina lesona aoaoina i atinae o le atunuu. fuafuaga i le itulagi atoa.
O lenei a'oa'oga o le a va'aia ai le 'auai mai atunu'u e sefululua o le itulagi, lea o lo'o nofoia ai le manioka i se tulaga iloga i le faiga o fa'ato'aga, ma o le a amata mai ia Iulai 28-Aokuso 2, 2014 i Cali, Colombia. E lagolagoina e lenei taumafaiga le finauga e tatau ona faamalosia le atinae o faatoaga, ma ofo atu i le itulagi se tasi o auala e mafai ai ona foia lea tulaga. Ole la'asaga muamua lea ile a'oa'oga o le gaosiga o manioka e mafai ona fa'alautele atili ma le fa'atatau i isi fa'ato'aga iloga. O le a le gata ina o'o atu i le atunu'u 'autu o ia fa'alapotopotoga, ae fa'apea fo'i le fa'alauteleina o fefa'ataua'iga fa'aitulagi e ala i fefa'ataua'iga fa'ato'aga, so'otaga fa'a-vaega, ma le fa'alauteleina o pisinisi fa'ato'aga.
Fa'ato'aga e taua tele i le tamaoaiga ma agafesootai manuia o le Greater Caribbean Region ma e le tatau ona fa'ataga ona pa'u i lalo. O faiga fa'avae tau fa'ato'aga ma fa'agaioiga e o gatasi ma faiga fa'avae o le atunu'u fa'apea faiga fa'avae tau fefa'ataua'iga e tatau ona atia'e, fa'atino, ma fa'aauau ina ia ausia le si'itia o le tamaoaiga ma le manuia mo atunu'u tetele o le Caribbean.
So'o se fetusia'iga po'o ni fa'amatalaga e tatau ona lafo i [imeli puipuia]
OA MEA E AVEA MAI LENEI TUSI:
- Given that most countries in the Caribbean region are currently facing a challenge to reduce the large amount of food products that must be imported to meet the raising demands of the population and industrial sectors, the course through specific focus on cassava as a pilot crop aims to impact upon designing and implementing agricultural development policies aimed at promoting local production of foods that are widely consumed, as….
- Aemaise lava i le vaega o faatoaga, o le ACS i le galulue faatasi ma le malo o Kolomupia, ma le faalapotopotoga CLAYUCA, ua manatu o se fuafuaga lelei le ofoina atu o se vasega faava o malo i le "Modern Technologies for Cassava Production, Processing and Utilization" e lagolago ai le atinae gafataulimaina o le fua o manioka i le itulagi Tele Caribbean.
- ” Agriculture is viewed as an important sector in most Greater Caribbean countries, especially in light of the economic diversification which has occurred over the last decades, and the emergence and growth of other sectors such as tourism and professional services.
