This paper reviews available literature on vegetable production systems in Papua New Guinea (PNG), including the role of composted organic matter in sustaining the practice of shifting cultivation. The implications for commercial temperate vegetable production in Central Province (CP), PNG, are discussed, taking into consideration the similarities and differences between CP and the traditional highland vegetable production regions.
