Monrovia, Liberia, November 12, 2026 — As Liberia faces heightened food insecurity, China has said it is preparing a new round of emergency food aid for Liberia, worth about RMB 20 million (roughly US$3 million).
Chinese Ambassador Yin Chengwu revealed the plan at a media briefing, noting that preparations were already underway. The aid comes as Liberia continues to grapple with food security concerns and difficulties in agricultural production.
The announcement came as the Chinese Embassy reviewed the broader cooperation between the two countries, which spans infrastructure, agriculture, healthcare and technical support.
On the agricultural front, China recently donated 304 pieces of farm machinery and equipment to Liberia. The handover took place at the end of October in a ceremony attended by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai.
The Ambassador also pointed to a technical assistance project covering bamboo and rattan weaving, fruit and vegetable cultivation, and livestock rearing. It provides supplies and materials to demonstration households in Bong and Bomi counties.
The Embassy said these efforts are meant to strengthen Liberia’s agricultural sector and improve people’s livelihoods, and the planned rice aid adds to the growing partnership between the two nations.
