Abstract

Open‐air marketplaces are vital to food security, livelihoods, and the national economy in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Over the past 60 years, rapid growth of urban populations, changes in global commodity prices, and the decline in value of the PNG currency have stimulated demand for domestic fresh food. Selling fresh food in marketplaces has also become an attractive way to earn money for rural producers, whose returns on labour on their export crops have declined, and for urban residents struggling to make a living. This in turn has led to significant changes in PNGʼs marketplaces: spatial and temporal changes, changes in what is bought and sold, changes in who is selling, and changes in how food is transacted. In this paper, we bring together research on PNGʼs marketplaces from between 1961 and 2022 to document these changes and their causes, alongside important continuities, and to examine the implications and substantial gaps in our knowledge.

市场更新:六十年来巴布亚新几内亚新鲜食品市场的变化

露天市场对巴布亚新几内亚的粮食安全、生计和国民经济至关重要。在过去的60年里，城市人口的快速增长、全球商品价格的变化以及巴布亚新几内亚货币的贬值刺激了对国内新鲜食品的需求。在市场上出售新鲜食品也成为农村生产者和城市居民赚钱的一种有吸引力的方式，农村生产者的出口作物的劳动力回报已经下降，城市居民也在努力谋生。这反过来又导致了巴布亚新几内亚市场的重大变化:空间和时间的变化，买卖的变化，卖家的变化，以及食品交易方式的变化。在本文中，我们汇集了1961年至2022年间巴布亚新几内亚市场的研究，以记录这些变化及其原因，以及重要的连续性，并检查其影响和我们知识中的实质性差距。
