THE coffee industry in Papua New Guinea has had a long-standing history with its own struggles and achievements driven by genuine and dedicated people who contributed their time, effort, commitment and resources to bring it to what it is today.

One such person is a man called the ‘Walking Encyclopaedia of Coffee’, or better known as ‘Papa bilong Kofi’. He is Ricky Moke Mitio. Originally from Moke village in the Okapa District of Eastern Highlands, Mitio is a testament of a resilient young man during the early colonial days who has seen both worlds of change and transformation - from traditional age of cannibalism before Papua New Guinea’s independence and post-independence.
