dc.descriptionThe Government of Papua New Guinea (GoPNG) aims to promote agricultural transformation through strategic investments to support greater commercialization via increases in production output and quality. To accomplish this goal, the GoPNG recently released the National Agriculture Sector Plan (NASP) 2024-2033 which acknowledges the fresh produce sector’s potential to contribute to poverty alleviation and economic growth via increased income for rural farmers (Department of Agriculture and Livestock 2023). With growing urbanization and expanding mining operations, the demand for fresh produce is increasing within the country (Chang et al. 2015). While the challenges that PNG faces to promote a more competitive fresh produce agriculture sector are not simple hurdles to overcome, they are not impossible barriers to surpass either. This report sets out to achieve three goals: 1) provide an assessment of PNG’s fresh produce farming and sales trends using remote sensing data and recent data collected by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the Fresh Produce Development Agency (FPDA); 2) report on current programming (namely Market for Village Farmers) aimed at supporting fresh produce value chain development; and 3) inform future programming of fresh produce value chain support through a detailed account of a scoping study of the fresh produce sector conducted in June, 2025 and November, 2025.
