Leveraging the holistic power of exports.
From Samoa’s Doors to the World’s shores.
Sustainable growth to
benefit all our people
Samoa Export Authority (SEA) is a newly established government entity tasked with building a stronger, more resilient Samoa by enhancing export development and market access. By sharing Samoa’s bounty with the world, we will improve the lives of our people, boost our economy, and protect the health of our lands and oceans.
Our people and our lands: these are everything.
Respect, integrity, and trust – these have always been part of Samoan culture, and they are key to an even brighter future. Boosting exports and our economy aren’t to build the wealth of the few, but to unlock the vast potential of our beautiful islands for the betterment of all our people. Environmental sustainability also sits at the core of our approach – protecting our lands is not just ethical, but will ensure the future of our export industry.
