AMARTA will work with private businesses, farmers and other actors to improve efficiency, product quality in value chains such as high-value export commodities, hypermarket quality horticulture products, cocoa and coffee.

AMARTA has formed a public private partnership with PT. Freeport Indonesia called The Papua Agriculture Development Alliance (PADA) to bring economic development to remote areas of Papua. AMARTA is providing technical assistance, training and grant awards for fishing activities in Kokonao, coffee development in Wamena and Moanemani, and livestock and rice in Agimuga.
