Earlier Report Observations
Liberia's soybean market volume expanded from 3 319 t in 2018 to 3 428 t in 2020, supported by broader agricultural sector growth. The country's arable land potential and an 18% increase in farmed area between 2008 and 2018 provided a foundation for higher production. Enhanced data collection through the Ministry of Agriculture's 2019 pilot survey further contributed to improved sector planning and output.
After a slight contraction to 3 373 t in 2021, the market saw a significant rise to 3 591 t in 2022, followed by a drop to 3 411 t in 2023. These fluctuations resulted in an overall increase of 92 t over the five-year period from 2018 to 2023.
