New ventures · Central Province

Beyond cocoa:coffee & vanilla.

Two small-scale ventures Frontier is developing with local people in Central Province — built on quality, local trade and a path to export.

Our intent

Small scale today.Serious about quality.

Coffee and vanilla are new ventures for Frontier, developed hand in hand with local people in Central Province.

We are starting small and building carefully — growing high-quality crops, creating trade for local growers, and opening a path for PNG produce to reach the world.

Frontier is working alongside these existing growers to lift quality and expand production — with support in the field, careful processing and a reliable route to market for the coffee they grow.

Vanilla is Frontier’s newest venture — small in scale today, and focused on doing it well.

We are working with local people in Central Province to grow, cure and grade high-quality vanilla: creating trade for local growers and, in time, bringing PNG vanilla to buyers around the world.

  • Cured with care
  • Local trade & export
