Key takeaways
Vanuatu's name travels the world on its kava. The islands' kava is prized in export markets across the Pacific, the United States, Australia and beyond, and alongside it move copra, coconut oil, cocoa and beef. Behind these exports sits a layer of Port Vila business that rarely gets attention: the exporters, agents, accountants, lawyers and financial-services firms who arrange the orders, the shipping and the paperwork. What all of them share is a customer base spread across the globe and three working languages — Bislama, English and French — running through every deal.
The friction is timing and reach. A kava buyer in California, an importer in Sydney, a partner in Nouméa or Paris each calls during their own business hours, which rarely match a small Vanuatu team's day. An unanswered call from an overseas buyer is not a trivial miss; a single kava or copra order can be worth a great deal, and buyers who cannot reach you will simply source from another supplier in Fiji or Tonga. For professional firms, a missed call from an offshore client is a dent in the trust the whole relationship rests on.
Here is what a single missed inquiry is worth across these Vanuatu verticals, in vatu.
| Business type | Avg. order / engagement (VUV) | Close rate | Value of one missed call (VUV) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kava export order | 280,000 | 25% | 70,000 |
| Copra / coconut oil order | 180,000 | 28% | 50,400 |
| Cocoa / agri produce export | 120,000 | 30% | 36,000 |
| Accounting / advisory engagement | 60,000 | 35% | 21,000 |
| Offshore financial-services inquiry | 90,000 | 30% | 27,000 |
| Legal / conveyancing matter | 75,000 | 30% | 22,500 |
For an exporter, missing even one buyer call a week can mean hundreds of thousands of vatu in lost orders over a month.
Overseas buyers and clients call when it suits them, across many time zones. The agent answers each in real time, so an order or brief is never left ringing out.
Whether a caller opens in French, English or Bislama, the agent follows and replies naturally across 57+ languages, which matters for both Pacific and Francophone partners.
Product type, grade, quantity, destination and shipping window get asked and recorded, so your team can quote an overseas buyer fast and accurately.

The Lite plan is USD 50/month (about 6,000 vatu) for inbound Q&A, Starter is USD 149/month (about 17,900 vatu) with booking and integrations, and Growth is USD 499/month (about 60,000 vatu). An exporter recovering just one otherwise-missed kava order a month at VUV 70,000 of expected value recaptures far more than the plan cost. See https://callsphere.ai/pricing.
