Mission and Vision

Mission

"To promote innovative agricultural development in Papua New Guinea through scientific research, knowledge creation and information exchange".

The word "promote" is used to indicate affirmative and pro-active action in the apllication and adoption of existing and new "knowledge" for agricultural development. Such development is realised through new and innovative ideas, processess, approaches and technologies. These technologies and knowledge arise from the information collected, generated and assessed through scientific research, adaption of existing knowledge and communication amongst all actors in the agriculture sector.

Vision

"Prosperous Papua New Guinea (PNG) Agricultural Communities".

The word "prosperous" implies economic, social and cultural well-being of all residents of PNG. Reference to "agricultural communities", in its wider sense, means that the prosperity of all in PNG will be realised through wealth creation and sustainable broad-based economic growth from agricultural development. As more than 85 percent of today's 5.5 million people in PNG depend directly on agriculture, the prosperity of agricultural communities will be paramount in realising the prosperity of all in PNG
