Lapita Café’s Brief History

Who is Lapita Café  Ltd in Vanuatu / Who is Votausi / Who is Geordie?

Lapita Café Limited was born out of a small catering business in 1992 by the owners who were ex- Government Employees. Votausi, a Nutritionist who at that time, was creating and providing nutritious meals and snacks from her kitchen using local foods and Geordie, an agriculture extension and rural development specialist.

Lapita Café Vanuatu Progress and Development

The business has been in existence for over 20 years and has evolved from the kitchen to Institutional Catering, Restaurant, and Coffee Shops (Domestic Airports). They presently continue to maintain their catering part of the business and have gone another step further with local food processing. In particular, adding value to local products for the domestic and export markets.

The owners see the future potential growth for Lapita Processing as a growing industry for Vanuatu given its fertile volcanic soils and an active dominant rural population. With the determination and experience of the owners of the company, Lapita products will continue to grow into the future.
