PNG shows appetite for home delivery

If nothing else, 2020 has been a great year for food delivery businesses across the globe, and Papua New Guinea is no exception. The COVID-19 pandemic has kept people at home like never before, but what is bad news for many retailers has provided an opportunity for PNG start-up GoFood.

GoFood was founded in Port Moresby two years ago to provide home deliveries via online and phone ordering. Twenty restaurants signed up initially, then last year Stop &

Shop and Meat Haus joined to provide groceries and catering respectively.

Now, amidst rising demand, it has launched GoFresh, as CEO Eugene Anang explains: “Continuing our efforts to serve the community in these unprecedented times, we have expanded our services to offer fresh fruit, vegetables and seafood as well.”

The company has also introduced extra hygiene measures this year, to ensure the safety of customers and staff.
