This proverb means that resources, when they are abundant in a particular location, do not go unnoticed and are eventually exploited by those who need them or are nearby. It reflects on the management of wealth and economy; even in a remote valley, natural resources (like taro) will eventually be discovered and utilized. The English equivalent could be: ‘A good field finds a good farmer’. This emphasizes the idea that good things always attract those who know how to make good use of them.
