These small slaves need liberation

Article Abstract:

The UK government is seeking to prevent a high-profile debate on the rapid expansion in child labour worldwide. Some large companies are already beginning to draw up codes which theoretically ensure that they do not use child labour, but supervision and enforcement remain extremely difficult. There is also growing consumer awareness of this issue, but again progress remains very slow. The UK government is indifferent to child labour, and is also unwilling to interfere in the sovereignty of other countries.

Palm oil and coffee are top of the crops

Article Abstract:

Agriculture continues to form a key element of the economy of Papua New Guinea. The government is aware that agriculture will have to adapt as the population grows and new needs emerge. The main agricultural exports from Papua New Guinea are coffee and palm oil, but rubber, copra, essential oils, spices and tea are also exported. Areas of potential growth include the fishing sector, with the government seeking to both increase exports and conserve fish stocks.
