Eastern Highlands Provincial Government Sets Up a New Coffee Company in Goroka


Eastern Highlands Provincial Government Sets Up a New Coffee Company in Goroka

Rumbia Coffee Export Limited (RCEL) is a new coffee company in Goroka, incorporated under the Companies Act 1997 in 2019 with Investment Promotion Authority (IPA). 

It is owned by 600, 000 plus people of Eastern Highlands Province through the Eastern Highlands Provincial Government (EHPG).

The establishment of the company with an initial funding of K2 million as a seed capital is a concept which is a strategic intervention and initiative of the Governor of Eastern Highlands Hon. Peter Numu.

It is his vision to invest and develop Coffee in the province according to two of his priority areas inclusively; agriculture and investments, which are in alignment with the country's Medium Term Development Plan (2018-2030 MTDPIII) under the economy recovery strategic plans, encouraging growth in Small to Medium Entrepreneur (SME) in agricultural sector.

While oil and gas are ranked first largest consumable commodities, coffee remains the second largest consumable commodity at the realm of global trade in its economic context. 

Verifiably, coffee in Eastern Highlands Province alone contributes over 50% of the total exports, an average of 23, 187, 000 tonnes of green bean bags per year which generates K162 million annually.

Furthermore, 95% of Eastern Highlands produce high premium quality coffee beans.

Since most of the companies and middlemen buy coffee at very poor rates in EHP and in PNG compared to other countries, RCEL is aimed to localize coffee exporting business in the province, creating direct market system abroad and shifting growers to sell and benefit from coffee a much higher value in price instead.

On the other hand, coffee industry has booming capacity to boost the economy at both provincial and national levels. In that perspective, the company was established.

The good news about the company is that it has an operational plan of doing door to door coffee buying. This option only comes to prove the Governor's heart for Eastern Highlanders. 

As an ideal strategy to cheer and gear energy in the local coffee growers, the practice of paying for high transport cost of flying and trucking coffee into town will be stopped. The coffee will be bought with good value in price at the door step, creating expense-free community and society for EHP.

RCEL is EHPG's own company but it is meant to boost the Province's internal revenue to maximize service delivery to the people. At the end of the day, the company profits to serve EHP!

JUSTICE SYSTEM AN EXECUTIVE CLUB FOR FEW - By Allan Bird

JUSTICE SYSTEM AN EXECUTIVE CLUB FOR FEW: GOVERNOR BIRD By Allan Bird MP, Governor for East Sepik Province | The SUN of Papua New Guinea. It seems the rich and the powerful cannot be touched by our judiciary system. They can hire the best lawyers money can buy while police prosecuters are living in the settlements. Even when the Police Prosecuters are good at their job, well the workers in the courts help the rich and the powerful to get away with by robbing the future of our children. It seems that there is no place in PNG for good, decent and honest people. Only the rich and powerful, and evil people can get ahead in PNG. This is not a good sign.   I urge all good PNGeans to rise up, take back our country from the evil that has taken hold of our nation. As evil continues to win, good people will continue to lose hope. This is happening already.   Let's beat evil together. Don't let them win. If we all give up and give in, if evil people continue to win and there is no...

KEEP MARAPE AS PM! by Dr. Clement Waine.

KEEP MARAPE AS PM By Dr Clement Waine The foreign occupying powers want Prime Minister James Marape out of office because he signed MOU with MCC/Ramu NiCo for copper and nickel/cobalt smelting in the country. This MOU kick starts the wheels of industrialization. The foreign forces do not like PNG to rise to the next level of economic growth, and they are using all their powers within our own systems to derail the wheels of industrialization from spinning. All gullible PNGeans masquerading as intellectuals must know this single fact and stop beating their drums. Marape MUST stay back as PM, and we will all spin this wheel of industrialization that was already set in motion. I will tell you a story; it may help or not, but at least I am trying to convince you and others out there. In 2007, Marape became MP for Tari-Pori and became Minister for Education in Somare government. He dreamed of the concept of the National Schools of Excellence. He brought the submission to NEC, a meeting held ...

Insights on the Gold Bullion in Papua New Guinea: Dr. Clement Waine's Perspective

Insights on the Gold Bullion in Papua New Guinea: Dr. Clement Waine's Perspective  From Dr Clement Wane PhD (Not Dr John Kuimb, Allan Bird or Justin Parker) Dr Clement Waine. My Views on the Gold Bullion Bill: These are my own views without reading the profiles of any of the companies involved, the draft bill, or the arguments (for and against) surrounding the bill. 1. PNG owned 22.5% of Lihir and 22.5% of Porgera and Mekere sold them in 2001. 2. Consequently, for the last 22yrs, the State of PNG had no recourse to the revenue of the sale of gold or the actual productions (i.e. gold bars); 3. ⁠We sold our interests in Lihir and Porgera for pittance (that’s a different discussion if you folks want to have it!) 4. ⁠For 2022 years PNGeans were happy! 5. ⁠Nobody complained! 6. ⁠The Lihir and Porgera mines are very lucrative gold mines in the world and Barrick and Newcrest had a field day over these mines in the last 22 years and nobody claimed their gold productions were PNG’s assets!...
