Agribusiness and Commodity Export

Padi Limited is a proud participant in Papua New Guinea's thriving agricultural export sector, specializing in the production and global trade of two of the country's most valuable commodities: cocoa and balsa wood.

Cocoa Exports

Papua New Guinea is a globally recognized producer of fine, single-origin cocoa. In 2025 alone, PNG earned over PGK 1.2 billion from cocoa exports, with East New Britain Province contributing approximately PGK 210 million. Padi Limited is part of this dynamic industry, sourcing high-quality dried cocoa beans from our own plantations and partner smallholder farmers—who manage over 80% of PNG's cocoa production. We export to international distributors and commodity buyers, ensuring consistent quality and full regulatory compliance.

Our operations are conducted under the regulatory oversight of the PNG Forest Authority, ensuring sustainability and legality throughout the value chain.
