  • Does Liberia produce cocoa?
  • Four of the world’s top five cocoa producing countries, including the world leader and Liberia’s neighbor Cote d’Ivoire, are in west or central Africa, and much of Liberia is suited to cocoa production. In fact, cocoa cultivation has a long history in Liberia, but production fell off dramatically during the civil conflict and has yet to recover.
  • Is oil palm a smallholder crop in Liberia?
  • In Liberia, oil palm is a large-scale plantation crop. It is grown on vast government concessions granted to foreign companies in order to attract foreign direct investment. But oil palm is also a smallholder crop in Liberia. Locally produced palm oil is a common commodity for sale in every marketplace and along the road throughout the country.
  • Where do pulses and peanuts come from in Liberia?
  • Third, similar to vegetables (as noted above), during Liberia’s dry season the majority of pulses and peanuts are imported from neighboring countries. Import substitution of pulses and peanuts, especially for dry season production, represents an opportunity for smallholder producers, particularly in Lofa, Bong, and Nimba counties.
  • Why is cocoa important in Liberia?
  • In fact, cocoa cultivation has a long history in Liberia, but production fell off dramatically during the civil conflict and has yet to recover. As a cash crop for Liberian farmers, cocoa production is the best chance for smallholder producers to diversify incomes and access a world market with strong and growing demand.
