APEP is seeking technical assistance from an organisation to consult key stakeholders to complete a comprehensive assessment of fresh produce supply chains and support systems.

The study is expected to involve up to 100 days of consultancy work in-country and spread over the months of June to August 2025. It will require travel to fresh produce growing sites in the Highlands (WHP, Jiwaka, Simbu, EHP) and Lowlands (Lae, Port Moresby and Kimbe) where enterprising commercial growers and aggregators are based. Data collection will also be required in Lae, Port Moresby, Ok Tedi, Lihir and Kutubu where most formal fresh produce markets exist.

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.
