Benefits of Agriculture in PNG: Local Broccoli Farmer Helps His Community

A story of hard work, sharing, opportunity and, above all, giving back to the community. 

His success story starts from when he sold a small pig for K300 and with the cash purchased broccoli seeds. 

From never working a formal 8am - 5pm job and instead solely being a subsistent broccoli farmer, he has been able to move from a traditional kunai house into a permanent fully furnished house.

(Pic: Pastor Charles & family - new house at the back) 

He has also constructed a permanent church for his congregation, see picture below. He has been fortunate to educate his children as well as other children within his community, and pay the brideprice of his own sons and many others within the community.

Church built by Pastor Charles

Hilans Fres Agronomical advice and local farmers network

With the agronomical advice from Hilans Fres extension officers who visit farmers across some of highlands regions, Pastor Charles was able to further his broccoli knowledge and is now a lead farmer for Hilans Fres and has been since 2015. 

He has his own broccoli plots which he harvests, but also has 34 faithful out-grower farmers working with him to meet the volume requested by Hilans Fres. 

Pastor Charles Broccoli Nursery in Tambul, WHP

Once matured, the harvest is delivered to Hilans Fres Dobel depot in crates and following Hilans Fres’ strict cool chain process makes its way to Tininga Supermarket shelves as well as supermarket shelves in Port Moresby and various mining sites around PNG. 

Pastor Charles helps the community 

Being a lead farmer, Pastor Charles co-ordinates his farmers’ production schedule so that supply is regular and continuous “supply mas go yet!”.  At present, he is supplying 1,500 kilograms twice a week, and even three times a week if there is a demand for broccoli. 

Recognising the enormous opportunity, Pastor Charles has been encouraging his fellow community members to also plant broccoli. 

So much so that he spent K22,000 on broccoli seeds to distribute within his community!

Finding a steady market with Hilans Fres

Before he started selling to the Hilans Fres, he would sell his broccoli at the Mt. Hagen Market. 

Although he admits that some days he was able to get more from selling at the market the income is not consistent or guaranteed. 

Some days he would have to bring the produce back home if there was no sale. Since 2015 with the assistance from HF and his own commitment, he is able to earn a guaranteed consistent income for himself and his farmers.

Pastor Charles’ next dream is to buy his own vehicle so that he no longer has to rely on the two-hour (car hire) trip to get his broccoli to Hilans Fres depot in Mt Hagen.

Editor's note

We saw this post about Pastor Charles and how one local company helps him to find a steady market in Hagen, Port Moresby and the mining towns; and thought it was worth sharing. 

So, we reached out to Hilans Fres on Facebook and with their permission, we are sharing this wonderful story of Pastor Charles with you. Thank you for sharing this story with us Hilans Fres!

Make Money Online Instagram, YouTube, Shorts and more

A young man called Gabriel said most people (especially the social media savvy generation) don’t believe you can make money doing what you love.

They just don’t know how to.

Here is how he intended to show you a few different ways that you do it👇🏼. (Reposted from Gabriel Twitter thread)

First, I want to say that this isn’t some way that you’ll make millions.

But this is a way that you can do what you love and make money.

1. Instagram

With Instagram, creating a page to showcase your work or sell your service can be huge.

Instagram is a lot less work than most other platforms.

You just have to learn how Instagram works.

2. YouTube

With YouTube, it’s the same concept a8 Instagram but you’re spending more time creating content.

YouTube is probably the hardest platform to learn but also the best.

You don’t have to rely on sales as much because of YouTube ad revenue.

Latest On YouTube - Monetise Shorts

If you love to share photos and short video from your mobile phone, YouTube #Shorts is going to be your thing.

In 2023, YT will monetise those videos - check out how to get into the YouTube Partners Program for Shorts.

3. Digital Products

If you know what you love to do, create digital products around it.

Courses, online guides, playlists, etc.

Basically, you just have to find an area that most people struggle in.

Then fill the gap with your product.

Find your interest, early

If I love music (which I do) I could create a playlist full of good songs and send it out to people.

Once it gets enough subscribers, artists will pay to be featured.

This is just one example, but this can be executed in almost every niche!

Now, these are just ideas and there’s a lot more to learn about each one.

The most important part is getting started with learning them and applying them.

Blog note: Hope this post motivates you to harness the power and creativity in you. It is a better way toward self-realisation, instead of looking for jobs.

Remember, what you create is yours. Working for a company or Gov't will one day come to an end.
