OUR VALUES
At Niugini Organics, our values are the foundation of everything we do. They guide our decisions, shape our practices, and reflect our dedication to the people, land, and future of Papua New Guinea.
Organic Certification: Integrity and Excellence
Since 2008, we have proudly held organic certification through ACO Certification Ltd, an organization known for its rigorous standards and unwavering integrity.
This certification isn’t just a label for us, it’s a promise to our customers and our community. Regular audits are conducted at our facility and among our 130+ independent coconut suppliers, ensuring that every step of our process adheres to strict organic management principles.
This guarantees that our products are of the highest quality, crafted with respect for both people and the planet.
Employment: Empowering Our Community
While Niugini Organics may be a small company, our impact is significant, particularly in the rural areas where we operate. We proudly employ over 45 dedicated team members from nearby villages, creating meaningful job opportunities in our community.
We believe in equality and inclusivity, which is why 50% of our workforce is made up of women. Our employees come from diverse educational backgrounds, ranging from grade two to bachelor’s degrees. We invest in their future by providing valuable training that not only benefits our company but also equips them with skills to advance in their careers, whether at Niugini Organics or with other leading companies in Papua New Guinea.
Single Origin: Pure and Authentic
Our commitment to quality and authenticity is reflected in our single-origin approach. Every drop of our coconut oil is extracted from mature coconuts grown exclusively within our immediate region. All our products are produced and packaged on-site at our facility in Kerevat, New Britain. This hands-on approach ensures consistent quality control and strict adherence to organic standards. We never outsource or source coconuts or coconut oil from external suppliers, guaranteeing that every product that leaves our facility is pure, authentic, and true to our roots.
Land Ownership: Respecting Tradition, Supporting Livelihoods
In Papua New Guinea, approximately 97% of land is held under customary land tenure, meaning it is owned and managed by local communities. With the majority of the population living in rural areas, subsistence farming is the backbone of many families’ livelihoods.
Our partnership with local landowners is built on respect and mutual benefit. We encourage responsible land management practices that not only preserve the land for future generations but also provide a steady income for local families. By working together, we aim to create a sustainable model that honors traditional land ownership while supporting economic growth.
Food Safety: Quality You Can Trust
At Niugini Organics, we maintain the highest standards of food safety through our HACCP Food Safety Certification. This commitment includes strict quality control measures and full traceability, ensuring that every product can be traced back to the farmer who harvested the coconuts.
Our customers can trust that our products are not only delicious and nourishing but also produced with the utmost care and attention to detail.
Sustainability & Biodiversity: Preserving Paradise
Papua New Guinea is a land of breathtaking natural beauty, home to an extraordinary array of plant and animal life. We are deeply committed to preserving this beauty for future generations. Our partnership with local growers is founded on mutual respect for the land, and we provide ongoing training to promote the benefits of organic principles and soil health. By encouraging sustainable practices, we strive to balance economic development with environmental conservation, ensuring that our operations contribute positively to the environment and the well-being of our community.
At Niugini Organics, our values are not just words, they are a way of life.
They reflect our deep connection to our land, our people, and our future.
Thank you for being part of our journey as we continue to grow with purpose and passion.
