The Authority has approved the grouping of Vanuatu’s primary products into 13 Product Groups. These groupings are based on information collected from registered primary producers, categorizing similar product types such as root crops or fisheries and aquaculture. To establish each Product Group (PG), the Authority evaluated total production volume and commercial impact, determining whether a single product type (e.g., Kava, Sandalwood) or multiple similar types (e.g., Small Livestock) should form a PG. Primary producers registered under the VPPA are managed within Provincial Primary Product Groups at the provincial level and Area Product Groups at the local level.
