Baslogo Silaunara, a local on Meteselen, is trying to help his people overcome some of these challenges through agriculture.
Silaubara undertook specialized agriculture training in East New Britain where he learned how to cultivate rice and downstream commodities like Cococa, Coffee and Cassava.
After returning home, he has been teaching the locals how to cultivate rice and process Cocoa, Coffee and Cassava.
“Now my people don’t have to travel long distances to look for rice, milo or coffee, we can make it ourselves now,” said Silaubara.
