The story

Morobe Agricultural Show in Lae

The Morobe Agricultural Show is an annual exhibition held in Lae, capital of Morobe Province, where local farmers, growers and cooperatives display crops, livestock and produce from across the province alongside performances by regional dance groups.

Papua New Guinea's provincial agricultural shows trace back to colonial-era efforts to bring scattered farming communities together to display and trade produce, and Morobe's show in Lae is one of several that have continued under local show societies in the decades since independence.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The show belongs to the same tradition as Papua New Guinea's better known Goroka and Mount Hagen shows, pairing agricultural judging with performances from Morobe's many distinct language communities

02

The mystery stays covered

Lae is a port and trading hub on the Huon Gulf, so the show draws exhibitors from the Markham Valley, the Huon Peninsula and the coast, making it a meeting point for farming, trade and dance groups that do not otherwise share a single stage

03

The city starts moving

For a province with dozens of separate languages, that shared platform is itself notable
