Food and agribusiness

Agriculture dominates the rural economy of Papua New Guinea (PNG). More than eighty (80%) percent  of the population earn a living from subsistence agriculture and selling crops in domestic and international markets. The growing global population, environmental concerns, competition and scientific developments are leading to major changes in the food and agricultural industry.

Market demands and global competition has meant that working methods have become more sophisticated in the agricultural sector, with highly specialist crop and livestock farming becoming the norm. Farmers will need to be more resilient and adapt quicker to change than ever before.
