Minister for Agriculture, Rural and Maritime Development, Waterways and Environment, Dr Mahendra Reddy today launched the new F1 variety of sheep at the Nawaicoba Quarantine Station in Nadi, in a bid to improve the quality of local lamb produce.
Known as F1, this superior new breed is a cross between the Fiji Fantastic stock and Dorper Rams.
A total of 15 local sheep farmers have been given varieties of the new F1, alongside three recipients of breeding rams.
