We are seeking an organisation to conduct a comprehensive study of PNG’s agriculture finance landscape, examining both supply-side and demand-side dynamics. On the supply side, the service provider will investigate the barriers preventing financial institutions—including commercial banks and licensed financial institutions—from expanding their agriculture finance portfolios. On the demand side, the service provider will explore the specific needs, expectations, and challenges faced by producers, aggregators, SMEs, and large agribusinesses across key value chains such as cocoa, coffee, oil palm, and fresh produce. By integrating global best practices with PNG-specific insights, this study will identify actionable solutions that address local market realities.

Upon concluding the data collection and analysis, the service provider will produce two primary outputs: a public report that offers a comprehensive overview of the agriculture finance landscape, and an internal roadmap with recommendations for DFAT and APEP to guide future interventions.

The request for proposal documentation can be requested by emailing png.tenders@amspng.org  or accessed online at https://www.abtglobal.com/doing-business-with-abt/solicitations

All enquiries should be made to png.tenders@amspng.org

APEP is seeking technical assistance from an organisation with good knowledge of fresh produce production and a background in agriculture training and curriculum development. The successful respondent will work with the Fresh Produce Development Agency (FPDA) to understand the technical capacity of its extension programs, extension workers and its relationships with research and learning institutions. The study is expected to identify strengths and weakness in technical capacity of extension programs and workers and match them with training and learning opportunities available in the country. The study is seeking to streamline the activities of key partners from the supply side of the fresh produce sector and improve efforts to achieve consistency in production and supply fresh produce crop products to formal markets in PNG. 

The study will involve up to 90 days of consultancy work in-country over the months of June to September 2025. It requires close consultation with FPDA as the lead government agency in the fresh produce sector and will extend to other private extension entities.
