Farmset Limited

Martin Agonae, Farmset Managing Director said that through its KKB business arm, Farmset had been assisting Kainantu rural hospital for the past 5 years. Major contributions continue.

“These people have a community business called KKB and KKB has 70% shares in Farmset and we work towards improving the lives of people here,” Agonae said.

Agnes Keniko, Farmset Branch Manager in Kainantu said the hospital was in need and so they decided to assist. Keniko hopes the donation can be able to help those admitted to the hospital so they can get better and return home.

The engagement covered cocoa, coffee, animal health, pest management and chemical safety and was intended for farmers, managers and extension officers.

The program was delivered last week by Farmset chemical specialists Colin Mitchell and Steve Woodhouse; and NAQIA's regional veterinary surgeon Ian Russel Enriquez.

The events were coordinated by the Highlands Farmers & Settlers Association Inc (HFSA).

HFSA President Wilson Thompson said there were 30 participants in the Madang training, 15 for Kainantu and more than 100 in Goroka.
