Recognizing the Sierra Leone Produce Marketing Company’s Vital Role in Agricultural Development
The Sierra Leone Produce Marketing Company (SLPMC), formerly the Sierra Leone Produce Marketing Board, stands as a cornerstone of the nation’s agricultural advancement. As a 50% government owned institution, SLPMC plays a crucial role in supporting Sierra Leone’s food security strategy, notably through its involvement in the “Feed Salone” program.
By providing essential agricultural inputs such as seeds and farming tools to local farmers, SLPMC strengthens the foundation of sustainable food production across the country. Its dedication to promoting the cultivation of vital crops like rice and cocoa not only empowers farmers but also reinforces national self sufficiency. Through its import export operations, the Company helps stabilize food prices and boosts agricultural trade, ensuring both economic resilience and food accessibility for all Sierra Leoneans.
We express our sincere gratitude to the Sierra Leone Produce Marketing Company for its invaluable contributions to the farming community. Its commitment to equipping farmers has already made a tangible impact on food production and rural livelihoods.
We urge the Government and relevant stakeholders to continue investing in this vital institution. With sustained support, SLPMC has the potential to unlock greater productivity, enhance food security, and transform Sierra Leone’s agricultural sector into a robust engine for national development.
