Coffee producing area

At present, coffee cultivation in Papua New Guinea is divided into four producing areas, namely, the West Heights (Western Highlands), the East Highlands (Eastern Highlands), Chinbu (Chimbu) and Jiwaka (Jiwaka). The eastern highlands and western highlands are major provinces producing Typica, and a small number of Catimor and Bourbon varieties are planted.

West Highlands Province (Western Highlands): densely populated, coffee is the mainstay of the economy and is the largest coffee producing area in the country, which is located inland and coffee is grown at 1000-1800 meters above sea level, of which the famous Sigri estate is from the Wahgi Valley on Mount Hagen.

Eastern Highlands Province (Eastern Highlands): the Eastern Highlands Province is the second largest coffee producing area in Papua New Guinea, located in the middle of the country, run through the Bishop Mountains and planted at 400-1900m above sea level. There are many small coffee farmers in the northern valleys of the eastern highlands province, which will be handed over to the processing plant after harvest during the harvest season.

Chimbu: it is a mountainous inland province. Coffee production accounts for only 7.47% of Papua New Guinea coffee. Chimbu coffee is famous for its dark chocolate, red apple and drupe flavors.

Jiwaka: located in the central highlands of Papua New Guinea. The Wagi River runs through the main valley of Givaka, flanked by steep volcanic mountains and ridges. Guihuaca is the third largest coffee growing area in Papua New Guinea, accounting for 12% of the country's harvest. Plant 1400-2000 meters above sea level.
