The Project
Growing
premium kava
from the ground up
“Moana Planting Group is built around the belief that a thriving supply chain and a thriving community are the same thing — Pacific land, Pacific people, global markets.”
Moana Group International · Programme Philosophy
Moana Planting Group (MPG) is a greenhouse propagation and community partnership model delivering export-quality noble kava from the Vavau Islands of Tonga to international markets.
The programme tackles a critical gap in the global kava supply chain: consistent, traceable, export-ready stock. Through centrally propagated seedlings of selected noble varieties, we control quality from the earliest stage — dramatically reducing early die-off and ensuring only the strongest plants reach our partner farmers’ fields.
01
Controlled Propagation
Greenhouse-raised noble kava seedlings with targeted ≤15% mortality rate — vs. far higher losses in open-field conditions.
02
Community Partnership
Partner farmers receive 50–60% of net kava powder revenue — not as contractors, but as genuine commercial partners in the supply chain.
03
Export Supply Chain
Integrated logistics through Fiji-based processing, producing traceable kava powder for international extract producers and premium buyers.

Noble Varieties
Selected for
export markets
Moana Planting Group focuses exclusively on two noble varieties selected for their premium kavalactone profiles. Only noble varieties — no tudei kava.
01
Kava Valu
Noble Export Variety
A premium noble variety prized for its high kavalactone content and clean flavour profile. Kava Valu is among the most sought-after varieties by international extract producers globally.
| Classification | Noble Variety |
| Primary Market | Extract Producers |
| Harvest Cycle | 3–5 Years |
| Est. Yield | 2 kg dry root / plant |
02
Kava Leka Hina
Noble Export Variety
Distinguished by its lighter root colouration and smooth kavalactone profile. Well-adapted to Vavau’s growing conditions and favoured by buyers requiring premium, traceable Tongan kava.
| Classification | Noble Variety |
| Primary Market | Powder & Beverage |
| Origin | Vavau, Tonga |

Community Model
Farmers as
partners,
not labour
Moana Planting Group is structured around genuine economic equity. Participating farmers share directly in the revenue their land and stewardship generates.
MGI supplies all infrastructure: greenhouse propagation, seedlings, training, harvest coordination, logistics, and export management. Farmers contribute land, daily care, and local knowledge.
As production volumes grow, so do farmer returns — creating a self-reinforcing cycle of community benefit and programme growth.
