Most of the coffee produced in Papua New Guinea is processed primarily as Washed lots, and generally speaking, due to the very small size of the average farm, this processing is carried out at central processing units or washing stations that are either privately owned or cooperatively operated by local farmers. The cherries are carefully picked at their peak ripeness and are typically depulped on the same day they are harvested, followed by a fermentation period of 24–48 hours to develop their unique flavor profiles before being thoroughly washed clean of any mucilage. Drying of the processed beans is commonly conducted on tarpaulins or raised beds to ensure an even and consistent drying process.
Papua New Guinea is unique in the global coffee market, as most coffee comes from smallholder farmers with 1–2 hectares of land known as "gardens." These farmers grow coffee along with other crops for personal use or sale. Sourcing coffee here presents logistical, cultural, and language challenges. The country has many distinct indigenous groups, each with their own customs and languages, and many communities are small. Only about 10 percent of the population uses the Internet, and there are about 55 telephones for every 100 people.
