After nine years of flying back and forth between New Zealand and Vanuatu, Roy Tinning hopes the next regular overseas booking he makes will be for exports of his vanilla.
The former recruiter is one of more than 30 graduates of Yumi Growem Vanuatu, a course in business skills and financial coaching for former seasonal workers.
Mr Tinning said the skills he learned through the program emboldened him to expand his vanilla operation.
