Vision

To develop into a highly efficient beef processing operation, integrated from breeding to wholesale, whilst enhancing value to our communities, the national livestock sector, and our
customer.

Mission

To adopt modern breeding methods, efficient feeding practices and optimum slaughtering and distribution services, while maintaining internationally accepted standards throughout
the whole process.

Our Service

Our service categories are divided into two main areas: cattle operations and green energy investments. While we focus on efficient and sustainable cattle farming, we are equally committed to advancing our investments in green energy initiatives.

Cattle Operations

Yellow Palm Ltd operates a 848-hectare cattle farm in Fugwa, Koroba, Hela Province, starting with 100 cows and scaling to 10,000. Activities will include grazing, feed blending, breeding, feedlots, veterinary services, training, and communal herding. Using the African communal herding model, communities will raise cattle, with Yellow Palm providing support and buying the cattle for processing and distribution. Future plans include establishing the region’s only abattoir, complete with a slaughterhouse and processing facility.

Clean Energy (Solar)

Yellow Palm is partnering with Swiss solar company RSNKP to build a 20MWp solar power plant at Fugwa. This project, using 23 hectares of land provided by locals, will generate surplus energy for the PNG Power grid, boosting capacity and pioneering commercial-scale clean energy in PNG.
