PHAMA Plus

What PHAMA Plus does

PHAMA Plus (Pacific Horticultural and Agricultural Market Access Plus) was a donor-funded international development program that operated from 2011 until its formal conclusion in June 2026. The program was jointly funded by the Governments of Australia and New Zealand and managed under contract by DT Global. It served Pacific Island farmers, agribusinesses, communities, and partner governments, focusing on strengthening agricultural market systems and improving market access for Pacific horticultural and agricultural exports across the region. As a development assistance vehicle, PHAMA Plus did not sell products or services commercially and generated no revenue from customers.

The program's portfolio consisted of technical reports, knowledge products, and advisory support services delivered to Pacific partner governments, regional institutions, and agribusiness stakeholders. PHAMA Plus was the successor to the earlier PHAMA program and operated as a single integrated development initiative rather than a platform-plus-modules commercial offering. It was not a technology company: no proprietary software, commercial APIs, AI capabilities, or paid product lines are documented in the source material. Resources developed under the program have been transferred to the Pacific Community (SPC) Digital Library and the University of the South Pacific (USP) Library in Suva, Fiji, to preserve ongoing access for Pacific stakeholders.

At its peak, the program supported a staff of approximately 64, primarily operating from its Suva, Fiji base alongside Australian operations. Following the program's formal conclusion in June 2026, the Australian and New Zealand Governments have publicly affirmed continued support for Pacific agriculture, agribusiness, and broader private sector development through successor programs and regional initiatives, though no direct successor entity to PHAMA Plus is disclosed in the available data.

The program was funded by the Governments of Australia and New Zealand, managed by DT Global, and officially concluded in June 2026.

Product overview
