PNG Bilum products are being showcased at the Pasifika Festival which commenced today in New Zealand, Western Springs Lakeside Park.
This traditional product is among other Pacific Island cultures displayed at what is considered the biggest celebration of Pacific Island culture and heritage in the world.
The presence of the Bilum products was made possible by Pacific Trade & Invest (PT&I) NZ through its Pacific Path to Market programme.
It is a structured approach to helping businesses entering the New Zealand market.
It is a two day event which will stretch through the weekend from March 25 to 26.
The iconic Pasifika Festival also celebrates its 25th birthday so with free entry, there are more than 220 performance groups and 60,000 visitors expected.

While the bilum is gaining momentum overseas, in the highlands of PNG, it is a good sale for mothers when it comes a graduation day. While graduating on her Grade 12 graduation last year (2016), a Simbu lass put on this bilum dress on the day which was made by her aunty who makes bilums and sells.
