Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the market for not roasted and not cooked groundnuts in Liberia expanded gradually, with production rising from 6 641 tons to 6 826 tons and market size following a similar path. The growth was modest, at around 1-2% per year, reflecting a steady but slow increase in output. After a slight dip in 2021, when production fell to 6 735 tons, the market entered a period of stabilization, with volumes hovering near 6 780 tons through 2023.

Throughout this period, imports and exports remained negligible, indicating a predominantly domestic market. In 2024, however, imports surged to 804 tons, signaling a potential shift. That same year, the government launched the Seeds4Liberia project to address seed quality challenges and the Liberia Agribusiness Commercialization Fund to boost smallholder productivity, initiatives that directly target agricultural production systems.
