Project Description
The Project aims to build sector competitiveness by qualifying the market opportunities in the cocoa, rubber, and palm oil value chains. It focuses on providing market intelligence to promote competitiveness, supporting sector interventions such as designing certification systems in cocoa and palm oil, mainstreaming higher value production methods in rubber, or promoting the application of information technologies in agriculture (AgTechs). It will also increase awareness of environmental and social (E&S) standards, specifically adjusted to the Liberia operating conditions.
The project focus on Agribusiness is part of IFC's broader private sector development program in Liberia, including trade, investment promotion, and financial inclusion (secured transactions and digital financial services).
