English has some weird quirks.
A number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable...
But VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable.
-SUSpect/susPECT
-CONflict/conFLICT
-PROtest/proTEST
-CONvert/conVERT
This @ASX listed company is peddling PNG ignoble kava as noble Fiji Kava and lying to their investors. There is no noble kava in PNG.

Once harvested, tavioka absorbs oxygen and oxidizes, resulting in black streaks and spoilage in 3-4 days.
I’ve just seen wax-dipped tavioka for the first time here in a Dallas Walmart. The wax coating extends the shelf-life up to 21 days.

I first heard about a new kava cultivar on Rabi in 2018. My uncle told me he heard about it from relatives from Karoko & Valesavu. They said it was from Vanuatu (likely, but no evidence yet for this). Fiji's first non-noble kava has just been documented mdpi.com/2077-0472/15/5/478
