MONROVIA, LIBERIA-As part of the Government of Liberia’s ongoing efforts to meet its fifty thousand lowland cultivation thresholds before 2023, the Ministry of Agriculture has launched the 2025/2026 Harvest Season.

The initiative, set to target Liberia’s fifteen counties, aims at ensuring that monies invested in the Agriculture Sector by the government and donors are making progress to drive economic growth and sustainability.

Speaking on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at the launch of the initiative in Gbedin, Nimba County, Agriculture Minister Alexander Nuetah praised farmers for the strides for the period under review.

Dr. Nuetah said,” Though the current prices of locally produced rice on the market are high, it is time for Liberians to begin buying their own commodities to motivate farmers to grow more food for the country”.

Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer of Gbedin Agro, Samuel Brown, lauded the Agriculture Ministry and development partners for their continued support to enhance food production in Liberia.
