Overview

The Smallholder Coffee Production in Papua New Guinea training package contains information, instructions and resources for extension officers to train smallholder farmer groups in the production, processing and marketing of coffee. The package is also designed to train junior extension officers, who will extend the reach of the farmer training program.

The training package draws on several years of research supported by ACIAR, in partnership with agencies and organisations in Papua New Guinea. The package will ensure that the knowledge gained from research projects and the experience of farmers participating in the projects is collated and accessible for extension personnel throughout the industry. It will support industry-wide efforts to optimise coffee production.
