Earlier Report Observations

The natural latex market in Liberia began the period with production of 75.4 thousand tons in 2018, supported by the operations of Firestone Natural Rubber Company, which operates the world's largest single natural rubber plantation in the country. Production increased to 89.4 thousand tons in 2019 before a slight dip to 86.5 thousand tons in 2020, then recovered to 101.4 thousand tons in 2021.

Growth continued in 2022 with production reaching 107.1 thousand tons. In 2023, production rose further to 120.3 thousand tons, aided by the moratorium on exports of unprocessed natural rubber imposed in November 2023, which encouraged local processing and increased domestic demand for latex. The market size correspondingly expanded to 119.8 thousand tons in 2023.
