Pacific Bean Villages

DR. Noro established Pacific Bean Villages as a micro-enterprise to source organic natural products from Papua New Guinea. As a sustainability initiative, the focal partners are rural communities that run nature conservation projects and preserve cultural heritage sites. PBV hopes to create value and market access to support rural initiatives in Papua New Guinea and the Pacific as means of alternative livelihoods.

PBV's primary interest is in the distribution of organic cocoa beans, vanilla beans, and virgin coconut oil in Australia, United States and Europe. We also have a product development unit that is using the raw materials (vanilla, cocoa, virgin coconut oil) as base ingredients in our perfumes and skincare range under the brand name, KUNA.
