Dry Bean Cocoa Production in Papua New Guinea: Do IPDM Inputs Pay Off?

Asia &the Pacific Policy Studies, Volume 13, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Cocoa is Papua New Guineaʼs (PNG) third‐largest agricultural export, supporting about two million smallholder farmers. Despite integrated pest and disease management (IPDM) systems to improve yields, adoption remains low. We surveyed two cocoa‐growing households—one near Balima (Madang Province) and the other near Manetai (Bougainville)—and ...
