About AgriGrind

Background

The agriculture sector in Liberia accounts for employment of nearly 70 percent of the economically active population, and over 90 percent of total exports.

Also, agriculture has contributed 76.9 percent of the national Gross Domestic Production (GDP) in 2011, according to the World Factbook, Liberia-CIA(2012). Despite the contribution of the sector on the economy, mainstream media in Liberia rarely report on the agriculture sector. Against this backdrop, the AgriGrind blog strives to increase coverage on Liberia’s agriculture sector. AgriGrind covers various topics on Liberia’s agriculture sector including agri-politics, agri-business, Climate change, production practices, fisheries, forestry, women, and youth.

Purpose

AgriGrind has a specific purpose and that is to increase visibility and participation in Liberia’s agriculture sector by providing information useful to every actor that is operating in the sector.
