Planning for National Economic Growth through Agriculture.

Abstract

Over the next 2 days, and on this most important topic, a range of speakers will provide detailed comment on what they believe to be the most effective direct policy measures for assisting Papua New Guinea's agricultural sector. On behalf of the Minister for National Planning and Implementation, the Hon. Moi Avei, I will restrict my comments to the wider policy environment and explain how the Government's approach to planning at the national level will impact on agricultural activity throughout the country.
