The Prime Minister Jame Marape says let Papua New Guinea be Food Basket for Asia Pacific Region. And to make this a reality, the Marape-Davis government is looking at boosting agriculture in the country. "On agriculture alone , I am told 110 million Filipinos, 250million Indonesian, 5 million Singaporean and more then 2 billion in Asian nations around us will be looking for rice, coffee, copra, vanilla, corn, copra and meat . They will be looking for food into the future'', he said. "It’s time we prepare our nation to be the food basket of Asia instead of just dreaming on windfalls from gold and oil and gas" Mr.Marape is urging his governement department heads to move the country forward. "I Will be meeting Departmental Heads from this week and looking forward to how you could map out your Department’s work plan, that we will reconcile with ours to announce to our country on what we will do to take back our country’s economy and to make this country the richest black Christian nation where no child is left behind.
If your plan has no relevance to our visions then the best you can do is resign. You all have been given a month. My first departments to visit will be IRC and agriculture, mining, petroleum, forestry and fisheries. I call all our 22 governors to partner us national government and go into processing down agriculture, fish, timber and tourism. God gave us resources and mind , he will not create miracles but expect us to work miracles in our own land''. Next : Police Chief Baki To Seek Restraining Order Against NEC Comments are closed.
