When it comes to food, we all know that Papua New Guineans love a big hearty meal.

For the past 46 years, Papua New Guineans have grown fond of eating rice. Whether it's breakfast before heading out to the coffee plantation, a school lunch box in a rural village or dinner after a hard day at the office – you will find a hearty serving of Trukai nationwide. Trukai has become an integral part of millions of Papua New Guinean’s everyday lives through meals, sports, education, employment and health.
