Bougainville Live

As part of our continuing program of community support, BCL was pleased to back the Panguna Development Company Limited in a successful poultry farming initiative for its members. The pilot was aimed at demonstrating the potential profitability of poultry farming and saw five farmers each provided with around 50 chicks that were each just a day or two old as well as some stockfeed and kerosene for lamps.

The farmers were successful in raising more than 95 per cent of the chicks over a six-week growth cycle. The chickens were then sold for a decent profit after accounting for the cost of the initial support provided under a loan scheme arrangement. The pilot affirmed that small-scale poultry farming, underpinned by ongoing local demand for poultry meat and eggs, was viable among committed farmers.

The PDCL is dedicated to assisting its members to participate in income earning and self-employment activities. BCL believes these types of initiatives are essential for building capacity at grass roots level as they promote diversity among Bougainvillean farmers and reduce reliance on single sources of agricultural income. PDCL member Joseph Nuasi (pictured) achieved a 100 per cent success rate with the chickens he raised. He is with BCL village liaison officer Peter Garuai. #poultyfarming #BCL #proudlyBougainvillean
