Foreigners are mainly Australians. When you get off the plane and enter the immigration hall, there are three channels: PNG national passenger channel, visa-holding passenger channel and visa-on-arrival passenger channel. I am in the visa on arrival passageway, the visa process is very simple, the entry form and 100 Kina (local currency unit), the smooth entry, visa can stay there for two months. After finding the luggage, he went to the customs counter and the official only asked, "do you have any alcohol and tobacco?" After answering "no", he is allowed to pass (not even an X-ray machine). Exchange currency US$37.80 = K100 at the airport. According to locals, PNG Immigration and Customs have very loose controls on flights from Australia (usually arriving in the afternoon). However, for flights from Hong Kong, Manila and Singapore (which usually arrive in the early morning), they are particularly strict. When they get a visa on arrival, they will ask about the east and west, and the luggage will also be strictly searched.

Papua New Guinea's top coffee beans (PNG AA) are as beautiful and precious as the country's national bird of paradise. As coffee is widely grown in highlands between 1300 and 1800 meters above sea level, it is usually full-grained and varied in taste, with pleasant acidity and fruit-like sweetness. PNG coffee beans are carefully washed Arabica beans with a texture as strong and mellow as a Van Gogh painting. Whether it is used to mix Italian products or general mixed coffee, it can make up for the lack of sour coffee.

PNG coffee beans are favored by more and more coffee lovers in recent years because of their rich flavor, pleasant aroma, no herbal flavor or local flavor, and the rarity of coffee beans.

The coffee industry plays an important role in the country's economy. More than 1 million people are directly and indirectly engaged in the industry. The government encourages planting by offering a minimum purchase price. The industry itself is controlled by the Coffee Industry Council (Coffee Industry Board). The commission is located in Goroka, in the eastern part of the island, while exports are handled by private companies.

The frost in 1975 destroyed most coffee crops in Brazil, but stimulated the development of coffee in Papua New Guinea. The Government has implemented a scheme to finance the creation of about 20 hectares of coffee plantations in rural or collective land ownership. This measure has indeed increased the penetration of coffee in the local economy, with annual production reaching 1 million bags by 1990.

However, it is almost inevitable that the surge in production leads to a decline in quality. Before 1991, the quality of coffee was good, and most of it belonged to open Y and so on. After 1991, the quality gradually declined, and with it the European market was lost. The extra price of coffee such as Y also gradually fell. This is related to the country's policy of "one grade, one price". This policy is not feasible for an industry as volatile as coffee. As a result, poor quality coffee beans have damaged the image of high quality standards for coffee such as Y, resulting in a backlog.
