  • Goroka Market
    NOT FOR PUBLICATION INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS EPW-8 P. O. Box 628, Goroka :rket Port Moresby, Papua, Territory of Papua & New Guinea OCtober 6, 967 Mr. Richard H. Nolte, Executive Director, Institute of Current World Affairs, 366 Madison Avenue, New York I007, New York, United States of America Dear Mr. Nolte, Goroka lies on the main Highlands Highway roughly midway between Mount Hagen and Lae. It is the end of the road for many of the hundreds of trucks that travel each week between the Highlands and the coast, for beyond Goroka the road is oftem closed because of landslips, and it is marginal whether it is cheaper to transport goods by road, or by air to and from Madang. Beyond Goroka one's chances of a backload to the coast grow dimmer as one progresses inland, for even in the Highlands, presently the area with the highest economic potential in the Territory, more goods are still transported in than are eported to other centres. As was until recently the case in Mount Hagen, and is still quite glaringly so in _anantu, Goroka is effectively cut in two by its airstrip. Aeroplanes were landing egularly in the Highlands up to 20 years before the first trucks came up the Eassam Pass in the early 950s. Throughout most of the week Goroka has a rather quiet air. Indeed, unless one is part of the various indi.enous, public service, academic, coercial or planting components of the local scene, it can be a very boring town. Coming from the coast, the Highlands Highway enters the commercial part of town, where the hotel, rotel and guesthouse, and the few main general stores are located.

  • Sweetpotato Value Chain Analysis in Papua New Guinea*
    Sweetpotato value chain analysis in Papua New Guinea* Hui-Shung Christie Chang and John Kewa** Conference paper presented to the 8th ASAE Conference, Savar, Bangladesh, 15-17 October 2014. Abstract Sweetpotato is the most important food crop in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea (PNG). In recent years, sweetpotato has become a cash crop for smallholder farmers driven by the need to generate income in a market economy. Marketing opportunities exist for Highlands sweetpotato, especially in coastal markets, because of income growth and urbanisation. However, long distance sweetpotato marketing has been problematic, as a result of high risk and high cost. The objective of this research was to identify socio-economic constraints to, and opportunities for, improving the marketing efficiency of the long distance sweetpotato value chain in PNG. A value chain analysis was conducted using both qualitative and quantitative methods, including personal interviews of key value chain operators (microfinance institutions, transporters, wholesalers, local market traders, and institutional buyers), farmer focus groups, a consumer survey, and an economic analysis of volume, price and cost. The results suggested that there were serious issues regarding access to credit, transport infrastructure (high costs, poor roads, and no specialised transport system), postharvest management (no sorting or grading, poor packaging, rough and multiple handling, and no proper storage facilities), chain coordination (no collaboration or communication between value chain operators), and support services (insufficient market information and no training and extension to build business skills). For female farmers, there were gender-specific issues related to personal safety, poor market facilities, and inequality in the division of labour and the distribution of income within the household.

In many high-burden, low-income countries, it will not be feasible to achieve high cervical screening coverage using hrHPV assays that require clinician-collected samples. We con- ducted the first evaluation of self-collected vaginal specimens compared with clinician-collected cervical specimens for the detec- tion of hrHPV infection using the Xpert HPV test.

The Wola identify nine vegetation types, with a further four sub-types, ranging from climax montane forest to seral communities of grassland. The composition of these communities is investigated, supported by data on plant species present. collected in a series of quadrat surveys (detailed. in Appendix). The number of species in each community is found to r.mge from 18 to 174. The Wola describe the vegetational communities 011 disturbed land as comprising an anthropogenic series of varying composition and species richness that is compared to the unaltered forest community. This paper is organized around this presumed ecological succession. While there is a broad correspondence between the local and scientific recognition of these ecological zones, which the quantitatiVE' data reinforce, the differences in these knowledge traditions should not be overlooked.
