Earlier Report Observations

The volume of the coffee market in Liberia fluctuated between 2018 and 2023, starting at 642.5 tons in 2018 and reaching 711.4 tons in 2023. After a dip to 618.3 tons in 2019, the market recovered in 2020 and saw sustained growth through 2022, peaking at 745.7 tons before a modest contraction in 2023.

Market expansion was most pronounced from 2020 to 2022, adding over 100 tons, while the 2023 decline of 34.3 tons represented a partial correction. Production remained stable near 640 tons annually, indicating that trade flows were a primary driver of market size variations during this period.

In 2024, the Liberia Agriculture Commodity Regulatory Authority (LACRA) replaced the Liberian Produce Marketing Corporation (LPMC) to oversee the coffee market, and the government launched the National Agriculture Development Plan (NADP) 2024-2030, which includes policy support for coffee production and market regulation.
