Abstract / Content summary	The ACIAR extension package has been designed to train smallholder farmers and cadet extension officers in all aspects of coffee production from establishing a new coffee garden, through to coffee harvesting and processing, and then marketing and financial management. All modules focus on the low input production system and incorporate simple low-cost techniques for farmers which are the key to improving production, quality and smallholder livelihoods. Key themes are sustainable production and labour efficiency, conveyed using a collaborative learning approach to encourage farmers to become fully engaged in the training. The training package is available free to download at: https://www.aciar.gov.au/publication/MN220-PNG-coffee-manual-1 Keywords: smallholders; low input; livelihoods; sustainable production; labour efficiency; gender; collaborative learning; agricultural extension
