Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, coconut production in Liberia remained steady at 8 400 t annually, with market volume fluctuating around 8 400 t as imports were negligible. During this period, the broader agricultural sector received government and international support, which may have contributed to maintaining stable output despite the absence of specific drivers for coconuts.

Production rose to 9 600 t in 2022, lifting market volume to 9 603 t, and increased further to 10 800 t in 2023, resulting in a market volume of 10 816 t. While no country-specific factors were recorded for these years, the overall focus on agricultural transformation through initiatives like the National Agriculture Development Plan (NADP) and improved farm productivity likely fostered an environment conducive to growth. In 2024, reported good harvest conditions and the launch of the Seeds4Liberia project to enhance seed quality and agricultural infrastructure underscored continued efforts to strengthen the sector.
