60th Morobe Show

FPDA echoed the show's theme “Be Productive” by urging every citizen in the country to be productive by contributing in producing food through growing fruits and vegetables.

FPDA's participation in the 60th Diamond Jubilee of the annual Morobe Agricultural Show reinforced in people the urgency to take farming as a business to trigger an improved and sustainable livelihood.

At the show, FPDA participated in providing advisory on the various food crops and programs that it promotes for people to grow through commercial engagements.

This partnership between CCEP and the Morobe Show committee signifies a commitment to promoting the rich culture of Morobe and celebrating agriculture's vital role in the nation.

CCEP's Commercial Sales Director, Tim Solly, expressed the significance of this milestone, emphasizing the company's roots in Lae, Morobe Province.

This year, the contest aims to promote the cultural and environmental heritage of Papua New Guinea.

The Morobe Show Queen promises to be bigger and better this year compared to the last 23 years of its existence. The organizers have introduced a unique "Recycled Wear" category, challenging contestants to create clothing from empty Lae Biscuit noodles and biscuits.

This initiative aligns with the theme of sustainability and environmental consciousness, encouraging the community to be positive and productive.

Organised by the Morobe Province Agricultural Society, a non-profit organisation run by volunteers, the highly-popular Morobe Show began in 1959 and is poised to celebrate its 60^th diamond jubilee this year.

President of the show’s committee, Mike Quinn, said they have started having monthly meetings in preparation for the show. Their first meeting was on June 28^th while the second one was on July 2^nd.
