NBPOL Supports Goroka Show with K20,000
The New Britain Palm Oil (NBPOL) gave a total of K20, 000 towards supporting the Goroka committee in their preparation and hosting of the 65th Goroka Show.
The 2021 Goroka Show is set for September 17th to 19th in Goroka Town, Eastern Highlands Province. This year's theme for the show is 'save our planet, save our future’.
The Goroka Show is a significant cultural event in the Highlands region of Papua New Guinea.
It is also the longest-running annual cultural festival in Papua New Guinea drawing thousands of tourists to the country every year in September during the week of the nation's Independence Day celebrations.
The sum of K20,000 given by NBPOL makes them the bronze sponsor of the show.
NBPOL is the largest and leading agri-business in Papua New Guinea, known throughout the country as the producers of Ramu Sugar, Ramu Beef, and Numando Beef, besides palm oil; and is the largest employer in the country after the Government of PNG.
States NBPOL country director Mr Robert Nilkare Goroka said the show is one of the oldest and well-renowned community events in the calendar of Eastern Highlands and Papua New Guinea.
“The Show is not only a well-known cultural event in the country but one that also promotes innovation and socio-economic opportunities through displays and exhibits of a range of goods and services from around the country,” said Nilkare.
He said the staging of this year’s show demonstrates the resilience and a lot of hard work being put into it behind the scenes by a strong Committee with its stakeholders to continue promoting PNG’s rich and diversified cultures including agriculture despite the prevailing coronavirus.
“2020 and 2021 have been tough years for us, just like everyone else but we are pleased to chip in with whatever support available.
“Keeping the Show alive during this pandemic means keeping the economy and country going, something we are passionate about.”
