Pacific Pulse
one ocean – many stories
Pacific Pulse ventures beyond the headlines with feature stories from Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia that reflect contemporary life across the Pacific and recognise the strengths, hopes, achievements and aspirations of the region.
Episode 15
In this episode of Pacific Pulse, Clement Paligaru travels to Noro in the Western Province of Solomon Islands, where many locals are able to resist the pattern of migration from rural areas to look for work and better fortunes in the national capital, Honiara, which is 350 kilometres away, on another island. Many Noro locals have found work at home thanks to the Solomon Islands' only tuna processing factory. It's Noro's biggest employer, with flow on benefits to other businesses in town, as well as being a significant contributor to the national economy. This is a story of how crucial this factory is for the community, so locals don't have to leave their families for the city to find work but also of the challenges and uncertainty facing businesses operating in isolated provinces.
