Strategic Relevance
Papua New Guinea's Exclusive Economic Zone spans 2.4 million square kilometres, encompassing some of the Pacific's most productive tuna grounds. Onshore processing capacity is significantly underdeveloped relative to the scale of the marine resource base.
Export Logic
Seafood exports are directed primarily to Asian and Pacific markets. Value-chain investment in onshore processing substantially increases export revenue per tonne compared to raw catch licensing — positioning PNG within international seafood supply chains at a higher value tier.
Investment Entry
Foreign investment in commercial fisheries is governed by the National Fisheries Authority (NFA). Aquaculture development may be structured through leasehold or joint venture arrangements. Processing facility investment qualifies for consideration under the SEZ framework.
