New opportunities are coming for nearly 200,000 Liberian smallholder farmers.
A major US$60 million coffee investment is set to expand production, strengthen farmers’ livelihoods and open new market opportunities across seven counties.
The Ministry of Agriculture and JR Farms Group Inc. have signed an implementation agreement under the Liberia Coffee Prosperity Partnership, a 20-year program running from 2026 to 2045.
Farmers in Bomi, Bong, Lofa, Nimba, Grand Gedeh, Maryland and Grand Cape Mount Counties will benefit from interventions including improved coffee seedlings, nurseries, farmer training, processing support and stronger market linkages.
The program will place special emphasis on developing and promoting Liberica coffee, alongside Robusta and Arabica, while supporting production, processing, marketing and export.
Speaking on behalf of Agriculture Minister Dr. J. Alexander Nuetah, Deputy Minister for Planning and Development Hon. David K. Akoi reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to restoring Liberia’s coffee sector and creating greater economic opportunities for farmers.
From Liberian farms to international markets, Liberia’s coffee comeback is taking shape.
