GRL COMMENDS AGRICULTURE MINISTRY FOR GAINS IN FOOD SECURITY AND MECHANIZATION
The Green Revolution of Liberia (GRL) has commended the Ministry of Agriculture, under the leadership of Minister Dr. J. Alexander Nuetah, for what it describes as significant progress in food security and agricultural development under the Boakai-Koung Administration.
In a press statement issued on October 6, 2026, GRL highlighted several achievements, including a reported 38% increase in national rice production in 2025, reaching 378,869 metric tons, and the cultivation of more than 6,500 hectares of climate-resilient lowland rice.
The organization also praised the arrival of 306 pieces of agricultural machinery and the establishment of 13 Mechanization Service Centers across seven counties, saying the initiatives could strengthen commercial farming and reduce dependence on traditional farming methods.
GRL further highlighted a reported US$60 million coffee investment deal with JR Farms Group, the rehabilitation of 13,000 hectares of cocoa farms, and the distribution of 350,000 cocoa seedlings.
The statement also cited the completion of 166 kilometers of feeder roads, the launch of 59 kilometers of farm-to-market roads in B**g County, and the introduction of a digital export certification system as important steps toward improving agricultural trade and reducing post-harvest losses.
GRL called on Liberians, particularly young people, to take advantage of opportunities in the agricultural sector and contribute to national food security.
The organization reaffirmed its commitment to working with the Ministry of Agriculture to promote transparency, agricultural extension services, and food security across Liberia’s 15 counties.
With effective and efficient investment in agriculture, Liberia's agriculture Minister wins,bigly.
