Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span> Significant boost for coffee sector<\/b><\/p>\n

In a landmark development for Liberia\u2019s coffee industry, the International Trade Centre (ITC), in partnership with the Central Agriculture Research Institute (CARI), has established the country\u2019s first National Coffee Mother Garden. This transformative initiative, established last June, is part of the ACP Business Friendly Coffee Program funded by the European Union. This one-acre garden at CARI, is home to 4,500 Robusta and native Liberica coffee plants, selected for their distinctive flavors and resilience to local conditions.<\/p>\n

This pioneering initiative seeks to transform Liberia\u2019s coffee sector by producing high-quality coffee seeds locally, reducing reliance on imported seeds, and making reliable planting materials accessible to farmers across Liberia\u2019s main coffee-producing counties: Bong, Nimba, Lofa, Bomi, and Montserrado.<\/p>\n

By boosting seed propagation, the National Coffee Mother Garden is poised to play a crucial role in revitalizing coffee production nationwide.<\/p>\n

The garden integrates intercropping with food crops, promoting agroforestry and enhancing biodiversity, contributing to Liberia\u2019s broader environmental goals. This practice supports soil quality, reduces erosion, and provides additional sources of income and food for local communities, underscoring ITC and CARI\u2019s commitment to sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship.<\/p>\n

The garden is managed by CARI to showcase agroforestry practices that can be replicated by local farmers.<\/p>\n

The partnership with CARI is an example of ITC\u2019s Alliance for Action (A4A) approach, which emphasizes the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration. By bringing together institutions, farmers, researchers, and government bodies, the A4A approach aims to strengthen the coffee sector\u2019s entire value chain, from seed propagation to market access.<\/p>\n

The long-term vision is to build a robust and competitive coffee industry in Liberia. By empowering local farmers and promoting sustainable methods, the garden aims to position Liberia as a key player in the coffee market regionally and globally.<\/p>\n
