Why This Project Matters

High feed costs and chemical inputs are major barriers for PNG farmers. This project integrates rice farming with duck rearing, where ducks provide free pest control, weeding, and fertilization. This slashes costs, boosts yields, and creates two income streams from one system.

Impact highlights:

• Families gain dual income from organic rice and duck eggs/meat.

• Eliminates need for chemical pesticides and fertilizers.

• Women and youth employed in sustainable rice-duck farming.
