Agricultural development in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea
Overview
Indonesia and Papua New Guinea are implementing various agricultural development initiatives to boost economic growth. In Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, efforts have focused on expanding cocoa production. The Indonesian government is supporting a 100-hectare plantation in Southwest Papua through seedling provision and labor subsidies, while Papua New Guinea’s Cocoa Board has launched a 10-year strategic plan to modernize value chains and establish the nation as a regional processing hub.
In Indonesia, agricultural support has also extended to the coconut industry and women’s empowerment. The Indonesian Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDP) announced schemes for crop rejuvenation and infrastructure to support the smallholder-driven coconut sector. Concurrently, the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection is promoting the ‘Women’s Food Garden’ program to improve women's access to productive land and foster economic independence.
