PRIME Minister James Marape launched several development projects worth over K65 million in Goroka on Friday.
The main projects include the Nokondi civil works, Rumbia coffee export, Goroka agro project, Eastern Highlands rice and juncao mushroom under the JUNCAO Technology and other road plans in the province.
Marape said Eastern Highlands was blessed with the perfect climate for garden crops and coffee that the Government is promoting agriculture as one of its top priorities.
“We have millions of people around the world needing food every day, we want to make PNG become an agriculture country to export food crops to countries like China where they have huge population to feed,” he said.
Marape acknowledged Eastern Highlands Governor Peter Numu’s initiative to grow the economy through agro-projects that is in line with the Government’s vision to grow the economy and make Papua New Guineans become industrious citizens.
He said the Government has made available K200 million in the 2020 budget to be parked in the Bank of South Pacific, Kina Bank and National Development Bank to facilitate low cost borrowings.
