Australia
The production of coffee in Australia is limited to the Northern provinces, close to the equatorial zones. Plantations exclusively produce Arabica Bourbon, a rare coffee, with a surprisingly soft and tender taste, naturally low in cafeine.
Production and export statistics are not available for Australia.
Papua-New-Guinea
Papua-New-Guinea, first called Irian Barat and then Irian Jaya, is located in the Southwestern part of the Pacific Ocean, north of Australia and west of the Solomon Islands.
Papua-New-Guinea mostly produces natural and washed Arabica. With this production, Papua-New-Guinea makes competition with the close islands of Java and Timor. The coffee is cultivated in governmental plantations as well as in small private farms. The quality varies -- it goes from regular to extra. The best varieties are Sigri, Madan, Arasufa and Arona. Papua-New-Guinea also cultivates robusta.
In 2007, Papua-New-Guinea produced 968.000 bags, all varieties together, an increase of 20% over 2006. In 2008, the production reached the threshold of the million bags, for the first time since 2005, with a total production of 1.026.000 bags.
