Rugged and mountainous, this province is described as a significant source of organically produced coffee.
Simbu (Chimbu) Province, capital Kundiawa, is rugged and mountainous and borders Jiwaka, Eastern Highlands, Southern Highlands, Gulf and Madang. Limited natural resources and difficult terrain have left it developing more slowly than some other highland provinces, but it is a significant source of organically produced coffee. It has six districts (Chuave, Gumine, Karimui-Nomane, Kerowagi, Kundiawa-Gembogl, Sina Sina-Yonggomugl) and, per Wikipedia, produces about 6% of national coffee.
