Located between Morobe and Madang Province, Teptep was one happy
recipient of training, supported by EU climate change action.
At the
altitude of 2100 masl, the temperature is as cold as any highlands
province in Papua New Guinea.
Dare to say, crops as English potato,
broccoli, garlic and even apples are growing there.
Back
in the days, Teptep was known for supplying fresh vegetables into the
cities through Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF), however due to high
freight cost, the vigor died.
At the Airstrip are remnants of the once
was cool storage room.
The Action, made a visit on the 2nd of October to the site following a
prior visit by the site coordinator and poultry scientist Mr. Elly
Solomon.
On this mission was EU Action Technical coordinator Crops , Mr.
Jeffery Waki being the team leader with Mr. Arthur Roberts, aquaculture
specialist and Ms. Miriam Simin, for Post harvest and food processing,
with provided technical assistance from Mr. Phillip Lali. Present were
96 farmer village representatives inclusive of both genders, young and
old.
