Kava Propagation

Strong agricultural systems start with strong planting material.

This excellent Kava Propagation Guide developed with partners in Vanuatu provides practical steps for farmers to produce healthy planting material and establish productive kava nurseries. From selecting mature stems and ensuring disease free cuttings to proper nursery management, the guide highlights simple techniques that can dramatically improve planting success and farm productivity.

Across the Pacific, kava is more than a crop. It is a cultural keystone species that supports rural livelihoods, strengthens communities, and connects generations through tradition.

The Kava Coalition is proud to support efforts that strengthen kava agriculture in Vanuatu and across the South Pacific. By working with farmers, industry groups, and local partners, we aim to improve planting material, expand nurseries, and help ensure that kava production remains sustainable for the communities that depend on it.

Healthy plants today mean stronger harvests tomorrow.
