Papua and New Guinea aims for self reliance in farming
In Port Moresby on Wednesday, External Territories Minister Barnes touted Papua and New Guinea's agricultural progress. He cited a doubling of highland cattle since 1961, a 50 percent rise in administration spending since 1944, and a 60 million cash crop export milestone. The highlands lead growth with private investment doubling, loans approved reach 3.5 million, and training exceeding 2,000 people, as self reliance edges closer though World Bank warns decades more. Australia pledges ongoing support but seeks private and local investment as the key.
