Productive Partnership in Agriculture Projects Awareness(22/08/11)

The World Bank project on the Productive Partnership in Agriculture- coffee component, will be calling for partnership proposals in mid September this year.

PPAP Project Manger Mr. David Freyne, expressed this during the kick-start of the project awareness in Goroka on Friday 12th August 2011.

He said the main aim of the project is to get coffee and related services right down to the smallholder coffee farmers at the village level.

He cautioned the coffee stakeholders, farmers, provincial and the provincial and national government representatives that the project will not be like another NADP program for them to milk on, but will serve genuine organizations and farmer groups.

“All partnership agreements will be screened thoroughly using World Bank standards and guidelines,” said Mr. Freyne.

He said the partnerships will included the PPAP, lead partners with annual income of more than K3 million, and co-partners involving farmers numbering about 100 to 250, with varying coffee needs from extension, to post harvest, tools, marketing infrastructure among others.

Mr. Freyne gave an example that PPAP will meet 70 per cent of the total project cost and the lead partner and co-partner together will meet the remaining 30 per cent.

The PPAP project awareness was also conducted in Kainantu, and will continue to Simbu and Mt. Hagen (including Jiwaka)
