Market for Village Farmers Project

The office will serve as the focal point for coordinating CEFI’s financial inclusion activities to support the Market for Village Farmers Project.

The CEFI office will support the project’s overall aim of improving the livelihoods of village farming households in target provinces by facilitating their transition from semi-subsistence agriculture in the fresh produce and galip nut to market-oriented production and farming as a business.

The funding is for the Markets for Village Farmers Project, which will support the transition of semi-subsistence agriculture to market-orientated production and farming as a business.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Treasury, Charles Abel, says this continues to signify how important agriculture is to the government.

Since agriculture is the backbone of Papua New Guinea, Abel says the Government continues to create initiatives with its partners to spur on agriculture.
