PNG calls for action on tuna value chains and launches new investment vehicle at 19th INFOFISH 2026

At the 19th INFOFISH 2026 conference, Papua New Guinea's Fisheries Minister called for urgent action to transform tuna value chains. The minister urged Pacific nations to transition away from merely supplying raw tuna toward capturing greater economic value through local processing, logistics, and trade.

Alongside this call to action, Papua New Guinea launched a new investment vehicle aimed at supporting these strategic economic developments within the region's fisheries sector.
