      abstract = {The objectives of the paper are twofold: to review  valuation methods for plant genetic resources and  to
develop methods to estimate the past and potential  future benefits, both domestic and international,  of
existing germplasm collections in Papua New Guinea  (PNG). The analysis concentrates on PNG’s
more important  plant subsistence food crops: banana, sweet potato, and  taro together with aibika. The
paper documents the movement  of germplasm in the food crops both within PNG and to  international
collections. Curators of and breeders using  PNG germplasm material are surveyed concerning the
future  usefulness of this material, and their responses are  reported and evaluated. Benefits are valued in
terms of the  value of future breeding in these species.},
