  • Why is oil palm a major crop in PNG?
  • First, oil palm has been the most common crop proposed for large-scale agricultural development schemes in PNG, so oil palm schemes account for 2.2 million of the total of more than 5 million hectares of land that has been alienated through the grant of ‘special agricultural and business leases’ (SABLs).
  • How much would a new oil palm scheme cost in PNG?
  • 9 Industry sources estimate that the capital cost of an entirely new oil palm scheme in PNG would be close to US$100 million, and the investment would only make sense if the investor had guaranteed access to 30,000 hectares of land (Ian Orrell, personal communication, February 2011).
  • How does a weak government affect oil palm development in PNG?
  • This dynamic reflects that officials in financially weak governments such as in PNG may find quicker and larger sources of revenue by facilitating the cheap, large-scale access to land for private companies for oil palm development and logging, whilst disregarding local owners and/or users of the land and its natural resources.
  • Where is palm oil produced in PNG?
  • The primary data is qualitative in nature, which was collected during fieldwork in PNG between February and April 2017. Fieldwork took place in East New Britain and the capital Port Moresby. The province produces the majority of the new palm oil in PNG, whilst headquarters and important government ministries are based in the capital.
