Papua New Guinea's government is in the process of creating a Pacific Marine Industrial Zone, in the tourism township of Madang. Within two years it is hoped the facility will process tuna caught in PNG waters and elsewhere in the Pacific. The industrial zone will cover 200 hectares at Kananam, along the North Coast of Madang, and will house up to 10 tuna processing factories, capable of creating more than 30,000 job opportunities.

Presenter: Firmin Nanol
