The Papua New Guinea Climate Change & Farmers Institute (PNG CCFI) sincerely thanks every farmer who has expressed interest in participating in the Central Province Pig Breeding Stock Distribution Pilot Project 2026.

The response from farming communities across Central Province has been encouraging and reflects a shared commitment to strengthening food security, creating sustainable livelihoods, and building resilient farming communities.

MEDIA RELEASE

PNG CCFI Thanks Traveller's Option PNG for Supporting Central Province Farmers

The Papua New Guinea Climate Change & Farmers Institute (PNG CCFI) is pleased to acknowledge and sincerely thank Traveller's Option PNG for its generous Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) contribution of K1,000.00 towards the Central Province Pig Breeding Stock Distribution Pilot Project 2026.

This contribution will directly assist participating farmers by providing essential materials required to establish their piggery projects. Items such as cement, timber, nails, water storage materials and other basic infrastructure will help farmers prepare suitable facilities for breeding stock and improve farm readiness.

Traveller's Option PNG has demonstrated that corporate social responsibility is not measured by the size of a business, but by its willingness to invest in people and communities. As a proudly Papua New Guinean travel agency, the company continues to support initiatives that promote sustainable livelihoods, food security and rural economic development.

The PNG CCFI Pilot Project is currently progressing across the five districts of Central Province, with the objective of selecting and supporting 50 committed farmers through training, farm assessments and breeding stock distribution. Every contribution received strengthens the project's capacity to empower rural families, increase local pork production and create sustainable income opportunities.

PNG CCFI welcomes Traveller's Option PNG as the second corporate sponsor of this important initiative and encourages other businesses, organisations and development partners to join this growing movement. Together, through partnership and shared responsibility, we can strengthen agriculture, reduce food imports and build resilient farming communities across Papua New Guinea.

On behalf of all participating farmers, PNG CCFI extends its heartfelt appreciation to the management and team at Traveller's Option PNG for believing in this vision and investing in the future of our rural communities.

Together, we are empowering farmers, restoring nature and securing the future of Papua New Guinea.
