The population of Nauru suffers from a high proportion of obesity(58.1%), diabetes(22.7%), hypertension(17.2%) and other chronic diseases, partly due to the shortage of vegetables in the local diet.
Nauru lacks arable land and land ownership rights are complex, as a result of which there is little area available for domestic vegetable cultivation. The island’s isolated environment is also unsuitable for vegetable production, resulting in high cultivation costs. Local production is low and is a costly endeavor.
