The Independent State of Papua New Guinea accounts for approximately 1% of the world’s coffee production. Coffee is Papua New Guinea’s second largest agricultural export, employing about 2.5 million people.

Production is largely done by small farmers with land holdings that grow as little as 20 trees per plot in “coffee gardens,” and dates back to 1926 when the first Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee seeds were planted there.
