FPDA delivers water tanks to relief drought-impacted Western Highlands farmers
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported55m ago
The Fresh Produce Development Agency (FPDA) has initiated a drought relief effort for farmers in the Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea, specifically targeting the Kelua region. The agency has delivered water tanks to these communities to mitigate the impact of the prolonged El Niño dry season, which has previously forced farmers to travel long distances to secure water for their seedlings.
To support these irrigation efforts, the FPDA has reallocated nearly K1 million by scaling down other agency programs. This financial commitment is intended to protect lead farmers from the ongoing effects of the drought and ensure the stability of local agricultural production.
