From this humble beginning, it has grown from strength to strength over the years making Desh Besh Enterprises Limited one of a success story. It is now one of the leading wholesaling and retailing companies of groceries in Port Moresby.  Our business model is based on the accomplishment of wholesaling & retailing groceries, the fuel industry, and transport & logistics in Port Moresby. Based on the decision of the company to diversify our business activities we have now ventured into real estate and agro-business activities.

The company’s decision to diversify our business activities and particularly enter the agriculture sector is in line with the Papua New Guinea Government Vision 2050, specifically the key pillar on ‘wealth creation, natural resources, and growth nodes’.

The company is keen to participate in the agriculture industry because it sees great potential in creating employment, creating wealth, and providing food security for Papua New Guineans by utilizing our land resources. The company believes that the agriculture sector sustains the livelihoods of the eight million people, and contributes significantly to national development and economic growth. The growth in the economy will encourage the increase of trade volumes both locally and on the export market.

The company’s new agro-business will create up to 300-400 jobs for Papua New Guineans and also create spin-off benefits for the local people both in NCD and Central Province. Our Agro-business is an Integrated Agro-Complex that will be involved in, producing and distributing the following agricultural products; poultry- producing eggs and meat processing & packaging, production of vegetables, vegetable wholesaling & retailing, cattle rearing, fish farming, and fertilizer production.

Environment Sustainability and Climate Change are other of the key pillars enshrined in Vision 2050. In line with this pillar, the company will protect our environment by turning waste manure into fertilizer. The chicken manure pellets from the poultry farm will be processed and packaged for use as organic fertilizer on the company’s farm and also be sold locally and internationally.

The company’s agro-business will provide the people of Papua New Guinea alternative choices of quality agriculture, poultry, fish, and animal meal products. The company believes in actively participating in profitable business ventures but not competing with others.
