The beef industry in Vanuatu has significant potential to increase cattle numbers and meat production. The principal elements of the proposed strategy are : The immediate stimulation of the existing plantation sector to undertake renovation and development. The continuing support of the smallholder sector by an efficient extension process, and - improved co-ordination of all industry sectors by improving the institutional framwork. The main policy recommendations are : the definition of the role of the existing expatriate plantations, the steady increase in ni-Vanuatu participation in the industry, the resolution of land-related constraints presently encountered by ni-Vuanatu Farmers, the provision of sufficient resources to the appropriate GOV departments to ensure adequate support is provided to the beef industry. A clear definition of the smallholder farming system, and their decision-making process, the establishment of a live cattle market, the success of the South Santo Cattle Project, and the success of VLD, are seen as being essential
