The agriculture, forestry and fisheries sector grew at an estimated 3.9% in 2014, according to the PNG Treasury Department. This was attributed largely to increases in copra, cocoa and palm oil production which offset the low copra oil production and a downgrade in coffee production.

Farmer support goes beyond productivity and coffee quality. The majority of coffee farmers in Southern Highlands have been struggling to make a living and the potentials of the young generation in coffee regions are not cared for. It is our goal to change that. We will support farmers and their families to raise their income and competitive position. And we release the potentials of the young generations to shape rural areas of the future.
