TRANSPORT NATIONAL

Efficient transport networks and services are a necessary underpinning to economic activity, for overseas trade, for supply of the main urban domestic markets from centres of rural production, and for distribution of consumer goods to large and small communities. Transport connections allow traditional subsistence-based village economies new opportunities to increase the specialisation of goods and services they provide through wider access to markets. This can take the form of the sale of surplus produce, develop into smallholder cash cropping and then larger scale ventures... The PNG Department of Transport is the lead agency in the formulation of transport policy and planning.
