In the heart of Papua New Guinea's Ambum Valley, a small but significant transaction underscores the vital role of agriculture in local economies. A local coffee farmer successfully sold 71 kilograms of dried coffee beans, fetching a price of K12.00 per kilogram, totaling K852.00.

For farmers in the Ambum LLG of the Kompiam Ambum District, such sales are crucial for their livelihoods, providing essential income that supports families and communities.

The price of K12.00 per kilogram for dried beans reflects the market value and the quality of the coffee produced in the region.
