Western Highlands can supply world with food

HISTORY records Kuk in Western Highlands as the first agricultural site in the world.  Archaeologists confirmed the remains of stone axe and other gardening tools. Remains of drainage have been found, giving clear evidence of the first agricultural site in the world. Given the above facts, it is understandable that different varieties of garden food and vegetables are found there. Foreigners enjoy the comfort of the province and the fruits and vegetable it offers.
Mt Hagen and the neighbouring districts of Mul-Baiyer, Dei and Tambul-Neibilyer produce some of the finest fruits and vegetables on the planet. If the Government is serious about investing in agriculture, then Western Highlands produce has the potential to reach global markets. Mt Hagen produces fruits and vegetables on natural soil nutrients, not with fertilisers and pesticides. Kaukau in Port Moresby and Lae are supplied by Western Highlands farmers.
Most Western Highlanders have become rich by toiling their lands and supplying the nation with vegetables.
Through exporting of fresh produce to Lae, Port Moresby and mining sites, they have turned into millionaires. Pineapples, oranges, cucumbers, carrots, onions, cabbages, guava, pandanus, broccoli, avocado, kaukau, potatoes, bananas and other fruits and vegetables are fresh and abundant in the province.
