FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

President Boakai Issues Executive Order Banning Export of Unprocessed Natural Rubber to Boost Local Manufacturing

June 26, 2026

Executive Mansion, Monrovia – President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. has issued Executive Order No. 166, imposing an indefinite ban on the export of unprocessed natural rubber from Liberia, effective July 1, 2026.

The Executive Order forms part of the Boakai Administration’s ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development and is intended to stimulate domestic industrialization, create jobs, increase government revenue, and strengthen Liberia’s value-added manufacturing sector.

The Order notes that the continued export of raw natural rubber has deprived Liberia of significant downstream manufacturing opportunities, industrial employment, expanded tax revenues, and improved foreign exchange earnings. It further acknowledges that previous efforts to regulate the export of unprocessed rubber were undermined by widespread abuse, necessitating stronger executive action.

Under the Executive Order, the export of unprocessed natural rubber, including natural latex, coagulum, cup lump, tree lace, bark scrap, ground scrap, and other forms of raw rubber, is prohibited for an indefinite period.

However, processed rubber products such as latex concentrate, Technically Specified Rubber (TSR), ribbed smoked sheets, crepe rubber, and other internationally recognized processed rubber products remain eligible for export.

The Order provides for strict enforcement measures against violators, including the immediate seizure and forfeiture of illegally exported goods, administrative fines of up to US$100,000 for corporations and US$50,000 for smallholder farmers for first offenses, permanent revocation of export privileges for repeat offenders, and criminal prosecution under Liberian law. Shipping companies and agents found complicit in the illegal export of unprocessed rubber will also face sanctions.

To ensure effective implementation, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, the Liberia Revenue Authority, and the Rubber Development Fund have been directed to jointly enforce the ban. Customs authorities, port officials, and law enforcement agencies have also been instructed to inspect, detain, and confiscate any shipment of unprocessed rubber intended for export.

Within thirty days, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and relevant stakeholders, is required to establish regulations that improve domestic market access for rubber farmers, particularly those in remote communities who have traditionally depended on cross-border trade in raw rubber.

As part of broader industrial support measures, the Government will prioritize incentives for domestic rubber processing industries through tax relief, concessional financing, infrastructure support, and policies aimed at expanding manufacturing into finished rubber products such as tires, gloves, footwear, adhesives, and other value-added products.

The Executive Order takes effect on July 1, 2026, and shall remain in force until repealed or amended by an Act of the Legislature. It will be reviewed annually to assess its impact on Liberia’s industrial development and the rubber sector.

President Joseph Boakai has suspended the Independent National Commission on Human Rights (INCHR) Chairperson Cllr. Dempster Brown over what is described as serious allegations of misconduct.

Boakai also designated Commissioner Cllr. Mohammed E. Fahnbulleh to serve as Acting Chairperson of the Independent National Commission on Human Rights pending further notice.

According to an Executive Mansion release on Friday June 26, although Cllr. Brown alleged misconduct investigation outcome is pending, he remain suspended for an indefinite period without pay.

The president has also instructed the suspended INCHR Chairperson to immediately surrender all government assets in his possession to the General Services Agency.

Boakai further directed the Ministry of Justice to conduct a thorough investigation into the allegations and take appropriate legal actions should the claims be substantiated in keeping with his commitment to accountability, transparency, and respect for the rule of law.

The INCHR Chairperson suspension is said to have followed formal complaints submitted by Commissioners of the INCHR alleging him of forging their signatures on a petition for a writ of Habeas Corpus filed before the Supreme Court of Liberia on November 12, 2024.

The complainants according to the release claimed that the petition was filed without their knowledge or consent and further contended that Cllr. Brown misrepresented the filing as an official decision of the Commission.

Allegations brought against Cllr. Brown, if substantiated, constitute a violation of Liberia’s Penal Law, Title 26, Section 15.70, relating to the offense of forgery, that's according to the Executive Mansion.

At the same time, the release disclosed that in addition to the forgery allegations, three Commissioners have accused Chairman Brown of failing to convene board meetings for nearly two years, contrary to the statutory requirements governing the operations of the Commission.

The complaints further allege that he arbitrarily withheld the compensation of fellow Commissioners without legal authority as a punitive measure arising from disagreements over his decisions, the release added.
