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
