Adopting an Export – Driven Approach
The Liberia agricultural Transformation agenda is the response to the need to Liberia to be export-driven. The goal for LATA is to create conditions so that Liberia achieves a higher level of economic resilience and inclusive growth.
Our focus is to move away from raw commodities and toward priority value chains – cocoa, rubber, oil palm, fisheries and aquaculture, rice and cassava.
Economic diversification, agro-processing and manufacturing are all vital for Liberia; collectively they create the foundation of private sector development and inclusive growth. The strategic will:
-
Structurally transform the economy away from mining and raw commodities

Develop a robust foundation for broadband, inclusive economic growth

Provide customers for the power infrastructure that our collegue at MLME/LEC have successfully set up
