- Prime Minister Hon. James Marape today launched the National Agriculture Sector Plan (NASP) 2024-2033, emphasising the importance of employment creation through agriculture in Papua New Guinea.
In his address, Prime Minister Marape highlighted that agriculture has been a core part of the Pangu Pati’s policy framework since PNG’s Independence in 1975. He noted that under the leadership of the founding Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare, the party prioritised agriculture to drive the country's economic growth. The government at that time implemented policies to protect people’s rights to their traditional land, a policy that remains upheld by the current Pangu-led Government. The present administration is committed to encouraging Papua New Guineans to lease their land for commercial agriculture.
The NASP 2024 - 2033 aims to create opportunities for all, including youth and women, and to improve the quality of life in rural villages, transforming them into economically vibrant communities.
Prime Minister Marape also announced the Government’s intention to provide funding support of up to K1 billion for the NASP 2024 - 2033. He urged all districts and provinces across the country to develop land for agriculture, reinforcing the government’s commitment to the sector’s growth and sustainability.
