Kokopo market

Kokopo Market is a marketplace in Kokopo, Papua New Guinea, where vendors operate open-air stalls each day selling fresh produce, local crafts, and everyday household items. The site brings together products and services that serve both residents and visitors looking to experience the town's daily commerce.

The market grew alongside Kokopo's development from a coastal settlement into a major commercial center in East New Britain Province. This expansion reflects the region's economic growth over time.

Vendors here display traditional Papuan crafts and artwork that reflect the daily life and skills of the region. You can watch people prepare local dishes using fresh ingredients sourced from nearby farms.

The market operates during regular daily hours and has good public transportation connections linking it to different parts of town. The layout is relatively open, making it easy to navigate when you visit.

The market earned recognition in 2023 as Papua New Guinea's first marketplace to meet World Health Organization health standards. This designation reflects efforts to keep the trading environment clean and safe for shoppers.
