Farming for Profit

​

Agriculture has long been quoted as the backbone of the PNG economy.  But where is agriculture today?

​

The Farming as a Program aims to strengthen the agriculture backbone. It does this by assisting farmers to move beyond subsistence farming and learning to run their farms as a business and earn more income.  The program introduces business concepts and working through the development of a farm business plan.  Participants work through each section of the business plan as part of a group and individually and complete their own farm business plan for their own farm. 

​

The program challenges the way you currently think – we always say agriculture is the backbone of the economy – but is it really?  PNG has plentiful resources, yet our people receive the least benefit – we must change this by thinking about the way we do things differently – our farmers own the land – lets build a future using that land more effectively.

 

Our main objectives for the program are for farming families to:

 

  • Learn new concepts and think about how they can be applied in your own farm

  • Learn from each other – share experiences and discuss better ways of doing things

  • Develop your own farm business plan that will help you make more money

 

During the program you will learn:

 

  • Financial concepts – talking about savings, cash flow, borrowings and financial fitness

  • Business concepts – you will learn about:

    • Farming as a business and how events around the world impact you

    • The farm business cycle – assess opportunities, plan, implement and evaluate the difference between a farm business and farm enterprise

    • How to track profit, income, costs and cash flow

    • Risks and how to manage them
