Prime Minister Hon. James Marape says Papua New Guinea can become a food supplier to the world with its abundance of land and sea.
PM Marape, when addressing the 77th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on Friday (September 23, 2022), invited new international development partners to work with PNG in the agriculture sector, particularly in downstream processing.
Earlier in the week, UN Secretary-General António Guterres, when addressing the UNGA, talked about the emerging world food crisis as a direct result of the Russia-Ukraine war.
PM Marape said many parts of the world were facing food insecurity, hunger and poverty and PNG could be a country of food production.
He said PNG’s people lived in a land mass of 462,840 square km and also had a large sea area which supplied tuna to Asia and Europe.

“PNG has enough land, sea and people to be a food supplier to the world, Mr Secretary-General, in response to your concerns for global food security,” PM Marape said.
“For the first time, in our country, my Government has inserted efforts to address this imminent problem by placing more emphasis on the agriculture sector.
“This is viewed not only as a revenue source for our economy, but also a conduit to empower the majority of our rural communities through introduction of innovative farming methods in cash crop production, livestock and poultry to take ownership and leadership of their development needs, and livelihoods, and at the same time also foster poverty alleviation and food security.
“It is from this perspective that we have established new ministerial portfolios for Oil Palm, Coffee and Livestock.
“That will assist us cater better not only for needs of the majority of our rural communities and their local economies to be integrated into the national and global markets, to improve their lives and livelihood but be the source for food security, and hunger and poverty alleviation for other countries.
“We therefore welcome new international development partners to work with us in the agriculture sector, particularly in the downstream processing of products that add value and support local communities and the country.”

This is the second such decision by the court in little over six months. Yet with every month that passes the chances the prosecution will eventually prove successful grow ever dimmer. Witness memory fades. Documents get lost. People pass away. Police and prosecutors involved in the initial investigation move on or retire. This

THERE IS NO LAW THAT PROMOTES OR LEGITIMISE THE PROMOTION OF LESBIAN GAY Bi-SEXUAL TRANSGENDER QUEER (LGBTQ) IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA Loop PNG Prime Minister James Marape has confirmed that there is no bill before Parliament to legitimise LGBTQ rights. He stressed that the Papua New Guinean Parliament is not likely to pass any legislation on this any time soon. The Prime Minister said the existing laws of the country are sufficient to protect the rights of all PNG citizens and residents including those in the LGBTQ (Lesbian Gay Bi-Sexual Transgender Queer) community. “There is no bill with our government to promote gays and lesbians in the country. Neither will there be any promotion of gays and lesbians under my watch. People’s sexual preferences are within their individual rights of choice but our government will not be promoting this matter or be seen to be legitimizing gay or lesbian rights in PNG.
