The latest information on pearl farming in Tahiti

This measure is part of a broader policy aimed at reducing public spending and streamlining government action.

In the pearl farming sector, the restructuring of missions will be organized around new strategic priorities.

The legal protection of pearl products and the creation of certification labels will now be handled by the Directorate of Marine Resources (DRM), including product classification, which will be offered on a non-mandatory basis.

Promotional activities, both locally and internationally, will be transferred to industry professionals. Producers and dealers will organize themselves through a private entity currently being created. Eventually, this mission will be incorporated into an organization tasked with promoting all Polynesian products.

Lastly, support for commercialization will be fully entrusted to the private sector, marking a new dynamic for the industry.

Through this reorganization, the government seeks to optimize its resources while strengthening the effectiveness of its support for the pearl farming sector — a cornerstone of the Polynesian economy.

The purpose of this visit was to deepen their knowledge of the Tahitian Pearl — a precious symbol of the fenua — and to receive prestigious gifts from Mr. Robert Wan himself.

After a brief tour of the museum, the beauty queens were invited to a special gift ceremony. Robert Wan presented them with high-value necklaces and chokers, demonstrating his deep commitment to Polynesian pearl culture and to the influence of the Miss Tahiti event.

At the same time, the results of the Robert Wan Tahiti & Miss Tahiti Mini Quiz, held during the Miss Tahiti Gala Night in June, were announced. The winners had the honor of receiving exclusive pieces from the Wan Design Collection.

The game winners, along with Miss Tahiti 2013 and her runners-up, expressed heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Robert Wan and his team for this exceptional meeting. An autograph session is also scheduled soon, offering admirers the opportunity to meet the ambassadors of Polynesian beauty and share an unforgettable moment.
