MONROVIA, LIBERIA-The cultivation of more than one thousand hectares of lowland is set to get underway shortly in Lofa County to boost food production in Liberia.

Agriculture Minister Dr. Alexander Nuetah named Zorzor, Salayea, Voinjama, Quadubondi, Fanqonda, Vahun, Kulahun, and Foyah as areas being earmarked by the government for the initiative.

The agriculture minister urged residents of Lofa County, especially farmers, to take ownership of the initiative to help the Liberian Government reduce hunger in the Country.
