Tribal fighting zones to be turned into coffee plots in Wabag District

Tribal fighting zones located in the Aiyel Valley, situated along the border of the Wapenamanda and Wabag Districts in Papua New Guinea, are being targeted for conversion into coffee production plots. The initiative is being led by Mr. Dan Nyia, Chairman of the Birip Coffee Cooperative Society, who identified the deserted areas as having significant agricultural potential.

The project aims to repurpose land left vacant due to ongoing tribal conflict. By transitioning these zones into coffee cultivation, stakeholders hope to revitalize the local economy and provide productive use for territory previously abandoned during periods of unrest.
