As the world celebrates Valentine's Day, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has turned is focus to promoting healthy, safe food choices.

For the second year running, the ministry is hosting a special sales promotion of high-quality local produce.

“This event is an opportunity for people to buy beautifully presented food parcels. They are packaged like floral wreaths, making them ideal Valentine's Day gifts for loved ones,” explained ministry spokesperson Im Rachna.

This year's event boasts even more options than last years, with dried fruit, chocolate-dipped fruits, and cereals joining the selection.

Rachna encouraged the public to support local farmers by choosing these safe food products not only as romantic gifts but also for their parents and other loved ones.
