Not only is it cost-effective, but it also holds immense promise for scalability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are determined to revolutionize commercial maize production through a systematic value-chain approach. Our ultimate objective is to establish a sustainable model for poultry farming in Liberia that will yield far-reaching benefits for the country and beyond. We extend our deepest gratitude to the Sweden delegation, the Government of Liberia, and our partners for gracing us with their presence today. Your visit signifies the importance placed on this endeavor, and we are honored to have you join us,\u201d Sani said.<\/p>\n<p>Sani indicated that the underlying aim of their partnership with SHED is to address the significant financial drain caused by the import of feed and poultry products in the country by enhancing local capacity.<\/p>\n<p>For her part, Joyce Queeglay Pajibo, Executive Director of SHED Farm, disclosed that as poultry farmers, they have about 40 percent of the market, and the remaining 60 percent are imported.<\/p>\n<p>Pajibo, however, said that before the start of her project about 90 percent of the eggs consumed in Liberia were imported into this country.<\/p>\n<p>She used the opportunity to thank the Swedish Ambassador to Liberia for making this work and also to Mercy Corps, urging them to work together and collaborate for the good of making Liberia a better place.<\/p>\n<p>She further revealed that besides having this locally produced farmer, the Liberian populace could not eat safe eggs in the country at the time because \u201cwe all know that the shelf life is six to eight weeks. Before you bring the egg harvested from India and other places to Dakar and onward to Liberia, it has already lived its life, so that is the kind of product we were consuming before this project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, under this business, we are working with the women through their corn farmer, and the Swedish government through SIDA is supporting market system development, not like an NGO grant but this new phenomenon is like providing the linkages in the business that are missing or making the business climate difficult,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n<p><b>source:frontpageafricaonline<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Francis G.
