Investment Opportunities

Explore the top five agricultural sector opportunities driving Liberia’s investment landscape.

Food Crops

Food crops such as rice remain essential commodities, with strong government support to enhance the rice value chain. Cassava is also widely grown and in high local demand.

Tree Crops

Rubber, oil palm, cocoa, and coffee are critical to Liberia’s economy, employing over 50% of the workforce and powering major export earnings.

Horticultural & Ornamental Crops

Liberia’s tropical climate and fertile soils provide ideal conditions for commercial-scale horticulture and ornamental plant production.

Animal Husbandry

Liberia imported over 37,000 MT of meat in 2019, signaling major investment gaps in livestock, poultry, feed production, and processing.

Fisheries & Aquaculture

With rich inland rivers and a 350-mile coastline, Liberia offers strong opportunities in fishing, aquaculture, cold-chain logistics, and value-added processing.
