MONROVIA, LIBERIA-The Chairman of the Presidential Rice Committee says the coming of gifted rice from friendly countries will help enhance food security in Liberia.
Ambassador Charles Minor expressed optimism that such a rice donation will also stabilize the market price of the country’s staple commodity.
Ambassador Minor spoke over the weekend when the Japanese Government handed over a huge consignment of rice to Liberia.
The rice was donated to Liberia through the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to be managed for development projects.
The gesture comes days after the Chinese Government turned over 304 pieces of agricultural machinery to Liberia to boost food production.
