Liberia – Key players in Liberia’s poultry industry at a five-day consultative workshop leading to the pre-validation of the Poultry Development Strategy (PDS) have taken a bold step to boost self-sufficiency in poultry production and reduce dependency on meat, eggs, and feed imports into the country.
With these new assets, CARI is well-positioned to continue its pivotal role in supporting Liberian farmers, strengthening agricultural research, and contributing to the nation’s food security and economic development.
Liberia’s agricultural landscape is being reimagined through the ambitious Seeds4Liberia Project. On April 15, 2025, beneath the radiant skies of Bong County, the Agricultural Research Institute of Liberia (CARI) witnessed a historic event as 261,000 coffee seedlings were distributed to farmers.
BEEPLAY, Nimba County - The Central Agricultural Research Institute (CARI), in collaboration with the Meteorology Department of the Ministry of Transport, organized a week-long training session aimed at enhancing the capacity of cocoa farmers in Beeplay, Nimba County. The session was dedicated to equipping farmers with critical technical skills for collecting and utilizing weather data, an initiative sponsored by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
The initiatives—from the PAN audit in 2024 to the engagement session on April 3, 2025—demonstrate a steadfast commitment to ensuring CARI employees are well-informed, properly enrolled, and protected within the civil service framework. Such efforts underscore the importance of empowering civil servants with the tools they need to thrive in public service.
