International Fund for Agriculture Development

Govt signs K83m loan agreement

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.
