Papua New Guinea
Coffee Industry Corporation Ltd
Welcome to the Coffee Industry Corporation (CIC) Ltd website, providing information about the Papua New Guinea (PNG) Coffee
Industry.
The CIC, which is empowered under the Coffee Industry Corporation Act 1991, has the responsibility to provide
both leadership and services to the PNG coffee industry as stipulated in its Constitution.
Coffee continues to be an important export commodity for PNG, as almost 85% of coffee produced in PNG is grown, harvested and partly processed by smallholder growers.
Coffee therefore is the leading source of cash income for a large proportion of the population
compared with other agricultural export commodities including minerals.
The global coffee market has become very competitive over the years and CIC has realised the importance of promoting PNG coffee more aggressively, both
to maintain its place in existing markets as well as to break into new emerging markets.
The CIC exists to support the development of the nation's multi-million kina coffee industry which will maximise financial returns to all players in the industry within PNG and ultimately achieve the government's social and economic goals.
