Expand work: Aopi

Business

The PNG Chamber of Mines and Petroleumn is encouraging more landowner and local companies to diversify their operations and expand outside the project areas to be more competitive and sustainable.
Chamber president Gerea Aopi said the resource industry helped establish many of PNG’s micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). He was speaking at the ApecMSME and Innovation Summit in Port Moresby this week. “Landowner companies are important because they economically empower communities and locals, provide employment and training, and directly benefit families as well.”
