Daulo District

Daulo District

Daulo District is part of the Eastern Highlands Province in Papua New Guinea. It is along the highway leading to the other Highlands provinces, namely Simbu Province, Western Highlands, Southern Highlands and Enga Province. Daulo is the real home of the famous Asaro Mudman. It has a total population of over 30,000 people. It has a small district office administered by the District Administrator who is a representative of the provincial government. The electoral member for Daulo, with the help of the governor for the province, is responsible for the set up and running of Daulo District similarly with the other districts in the Eastern Highlands Province. The district was partly the implementation of the reform initiative undertaken by the Morauta government in 1995.

District administration functions very much depend on government funds as there are not much of District profit making undertakings. Daulo District continues to upgrade the road systems on an ad-hoc basis due to lack of funding.

The main cash crop in Daulo is coffee. Recently in 2002, inland fishing was introduced by Hon. Ron Ganarafo, member for Daulo 1997-2002. As people begin to learn about marketing in other parts of Papua New Guinea, many have gone into agriculture to supply local markets around the country, specifically Lae, Port Moresby, Madang and Rabaul.

The people are now divided into various types of economic activities, 50% still in coffee, 40% in agriculture, 7% inland fishing and the rest other activities.

The land is fertile and most Daulo people are hard workers. In 20 years time, Daulo district aims to export coffee and fish to other parts of the world with the help of Coffee Industry Corporation (CIC) based in Goroka and National Fisheries Authority (NFA)
