Sogeri is an important town in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea and is located in the Central Highlands region of the island of New Guinea at an altitude of about 1,600 meters above sea level. The area has a tropical highland climate, with favorable average annual temperatures and a marked difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures.
Sogeri has a predominantly agrarian economy and is a center of trade distribution for the surrounding coffee, tea and vegetable growing areas. The local population is predominantly indigenous tribal groups that retain a distinctive traditional culture and language. The town's infrastructure is relatively simple, dominated by small markets and basic services.
Sogeri is connected to the major cities of Goroka and Mount Hagen by the Highlands Highway, and is the transportation hub for the northern part of the Eastern Highlands Province. Due to its location in the heart of the coffee-producing region, it is of regional importance in the trade of Papua New Guinea's agricultural products.
