Agri-tourism on Coffee Production and sustaining livelihoods of men, women and children
Expiration: August 18, 2020I am working with a Community Based Organisation (CBO) to support rural coffee farmers in Papua New Guinea (PNG) in all the coffee production stages from processing of wet beans, to dry and green beans and roasting and packaging to export and supplying the domestic markets.
The problems in PNG are enormous but we take this as stepping stones to assist the local coffee farmers as we can. The first two stages are; 1) to assisting the farmers to build a mini storage/warehouse for storing coffee and 2) converting a 20 foot dry container into an outlet for selling coffee.
The CBO is registered as Kii Nga Association Inc that looks at facilitating trade within the domestic market for roasted coffee and green bean exports abroad. The farmers through this group are also looking at importing packaging materials, a coffee roaster and other materials that will assist them in selling their coffee.
The group has exhausted their funds in setting up their storage and outlet for selling their product but need more grants if there is.
