Recently, Clement Daramam, the leader of the Komgi cardamom farmers and agriculture, traveled to Vunakanau. Upon arrival he found out that the community with Follywell #6 had ordered a 4x4 tractor for the Komgi community.
The Follywell #6 community did a purchase run to Komgi yesterday and the entire community was quite excited to hear the news about the new tractor. Once the Komgi community cleans up the road and builds a shelter they will be receiving the tractor. They predict that with the new tractor there will be an increase of plantings of cardamom.
