About Alotau

Alotau District stretches from the mountains at the end of the

Owen Stanley Ranges to the coastal areas of the south eastern

end of the mainland.

Land potential is high in the south of the province, while the

north experiences a long dry season and occasional droughts.

Businesses in Alotau and oil palm enterprises provide some

income-earning opportunities, as well as markets for the sale of

fresh food, betel nut and coconut.
