An estimated 200,000 people live in households that depend on oil palm as their principal source of income.
  • How many oil palm plantations are there in Papua New Guinea?
  • HOPL is a major grower and producer of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) in Papua New Guinea. It has 6 oil palm plantations regrouped under three estates, together with 3 646 independent smallholder plantations that supply its oil palm mills on a regular basis.
  • Can Papua New Guinea attract large-scale transnational investments for oil palm production?
  • This article uses a case study in Papua New Guinea (PNG), where the government seeks to attract large-scale transnational investments for oil palm production by formalizing large swathes of customary land.
  • Why should Papua New Guinea develop a sustainable palm oil platform?
  • This platform is designed in a way that these stakeholders may be able to develop a common vision and agenda, and ultimately implement them into a National Action Plan. Sustainable palm oil production holds the potential to boost many of Papua New Guinea’s development goals.
