Despite the dependence of the economy of Papua New Guinea upon plantation and smallholder agriculture, little has been known of the inter‐relationships which exist between agriculture and the remainder of the economy, or of the changes which would follow from implementation of the official development programme. In this article, a recently completed input‐output table is used to quantify these relationships in 1970 and to project changes over the period to 1978.
