Facts About Papua New Guinea

A country of coffee gardens

The first coffee plantation was established here in 1928, and smallholder plantings began in 1952, in the Eastern Highlands. It’s estimated that coffee touches the lives of 2 million people in Papua New Guinea, and that nearly 50 percent of rural households are involved in growing and harvesting.

Social projects

In partnership with roasters, donors and NGOs, Volcafe has invested in schooling and university subsidies for farming families, as well as health and family violence awareness programs. Many Volcafe social programs are encompassed in our farmer training programs.

Leading the industry

PNG Coffee Export Limited was established in 1979. Volcafe became the majority shareholder in 1997 and over the years demonstrated its commitment to the industry through its investments. Today it’s one of the oldest and largest exporters in the country.

Regional spotlight on the Western Highlands

This region, in the western part of the Waghi Valley, has rich, sandy, loamy soil, which helps it develop coffees with strong acidity, full body and rich aromas.

Regional spotlight on the Jiwaka Province

Jawaka is the newest province in PNG, located between the Western Highlands and the Chimbu provinces. Coffee from Jiwaka is grown in both sandy loam and fertile, clay-based soils. Jiwaka-grown coffee is known for its sweet acidity, tropical fruit flavors and rich aroma.

Regional spotlight on Eastern Highlands

The average elevation in this region, in the center of the country, is 1,500 meters. Coffee is predominantly grown by block holders and smallholder farmers, and loamy volcanic soils and areas of rich clay help to develop coffees with lighter body and bright floral and chocolate flavors.
