The Morobe Provincial Agriculture Show is celebrating its Diamond Jubilee this year; that is, 60 years of what the Show’s Committee describe as the most high-profile annual event conducted in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Morobe Provincial Agricultural Show Committee’s President Mr. Mike Quinn was proud when announcing this milestone. “It is a remarkable phenomenon for a show of this size and caliber to be surviving and thriving, where many other shows in PNG have faltered,” he said. He stated that it is an incredible example of what committed, community minded volunteers can achieve. “This year is a milestone event, the Diamond Jubilee 60th Morobe Show, one that promises to be the best show yet.” To celebrate its 60th Anniversary, the show will have the daredevil motorbike stunt men, sky diving extravaganza, and sixty-two sing- sing groups from around the country and many more entertainment at the main arena. Business houses from across industries, small holders and SME’s will be there in numbers selling their products on special show prices or providing awareness on their products and services. Meanwhile, Trukai Industries have come onboard to celebrate the Morobe Provincial Agriculture Show’s Diamond Jubilee with K115, 000 total sponsorship. The funding will assist in putting up agriculture exhibits and competitions and two tonnes of rice for all the participating sing- sing groups. CEO of Trukai Industries Alan Preston said they are proud to be associated with the Show. “We have been a part of this event for over 30 years, and we are proud to be associated with an occasion that brings people together, boosts the local economy and encourages knowledge sharing and awareness of agricultural and cultural activities in the Morobe province and nearby provinces,” Preston said. This year at the Trukai Village, show goers can expect to find the popular Trukai buckets and umbrellas on sale and due to its demand, there will be a new express stall dedicated to selling these highly sought after items. He said that Trukai teams will be at the information center to provide awareness on the ‘paddy to plate’ manufacturing process including Trukai’s latest agriculture program in partnership with universities in PNG called the Smart Farmer program. There will be a display of the village sustainable livelihood concept, which is an incorporation of irrigation rice and fish farming and a poultry set up. “Trukai’s Brand Ambassador Chef Julz’ will also be present dishing out delicious recipes created with your favorite Trukai rice.” The Trukai team will also be setting up bouncy castles at the family arena and a charity stall will be set up next to the information centre at the Trukai village to raise funds for the Lae Cancer Foundation. Trukai Industries and other major sponsors and business houses in Lae have been working with the show committee for three to four months to ensure that this year’s 60th Anniversary of the show is the best and safest event for all people living in and around the Morobe Province. The Morobe Provincial Agricultural show is set to take place on November 4th and 5th at the Lae Showground.
