Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>Macroeconomic stability built on fiscal and monetary discipline is essential to both food security and poverty reduction. Without a stable macroeconomic environment reflected in a stable real exchange rate, low rate of inflation, sustainable levels of debt, vital investments to enhance agricultural productivity and ensure food security will be constrained, notes a new World Bank economic analysis for Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The 2023 Sierra Leone Economic Update, Enhancing Value Chains to Boost Food Security, emphasizes that the government\u2019s reform agenda for the agricultural sector needs to consist of policy shifts that bring about greater gains in productivity, including investments in export-oriented cash crops (cocoa, coffee, ginger, and palm seed) to generate foreign exchange, and investments in the production and marketing of rice to boost food security through rice self-sufficiency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis report is timely and will provide policy options to support \u2018FEED SALONE\u2019, the Government\u2019s flagship program and one of the Big-Five priorities,\u201d noted Abdu Muwonge, World Bank Country Manager for Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n

The report notes that fiscal constraints are limiting the scope for public financing, further highlighting the important role of the private sector in providing the financing and innovation required to strengthen agricultural value chains. The issue of food scarcity has become more pronounced in Sierra Leone, with a significant number of families finding it hard to secure essential meals and nutrition. Prior to the pandemic, about one in every four individuals faced chronic undernourishment. With a growing population, the number of undernourished people rose from 1.6 million in 2011 to over 2 million by 2019. The onset of COVID-19 further escalated this crisis, with acute food shortages rising from virtually zero in 2018 to affecting 19 percent of the populace by 2021.<\/p>\n

Sierra Leone\u2019s economy experienced overlapping setbacks during 2022 which worsened food insecurity: GDP growth slowed to 3.5 percent in 2022 (from 4.1 percent the year before), while inflation rose from 12 percent in 2021 to 27 percent in 2022. By August 2022, 81 percent of households found themselves unable to cater to their fundamental food and nutrition necessities. Moreover, the average intake of calories and proteins per individual is not only below the average for Africa, but is also diminishing, especially in terms of proteins.<\/p>\n

Despite higher overall food production than other regional economies, Sierra Leone has become increasingly dependent on imports, especially for rice, its major food staple. Domestic demand for rice now exceeds supply by over 600,000 metric tons per year, requiring imports averaging $200 million per year (that is 400,000 metric tons) and growing at 5 percent per year. Rice production fell sharply after 2014 due to the Ebola epidemic and has not returned to pre-Ebola levels. This is on account of increasing structural constraints to productivity growth including weak research and extension capacities to develop and disseminate yield enhancing technologies, declining soil fertility and low access and utilization of external inputs.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs food insecurity remains an urgent challenge, mitigation measures should leverage existing safety net programs to buttress incomes and enhance short-term food availability and access for the most food-insecure and vulnerable households, particularly women and children,\u201d said Anna Twum, World Bank Economist and one of the lead authors of the report. \u201cAlso, there is an urgent need to address macroeconomic challenges like inflation which erode household purchasing power and contribute to food insecurity, while also improving agriculture productivity and competitiveness and enhance the livelihoods of smallholder farmers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The government\u2019s recently developed \u2018Enhancing Private Sector Participation in Agriculture\u2019 scheme captures the urgent need for reform and increased private participation in the sector. This policy does not only present a major scaling back of direct public spending on agriculture (especially subsidies) alongside an expanded role for the private sector, but it also includes new requirements in policy and program coherence and coordination.<\/p>\n

While prudent policy measures are being undertaken to address the needs and financing requirements of the agricultural sector, the report also recognizes the major role the government has in developing the sector and the country\u2019s overall economy and provides policy options in several areas. Key reform priorities include:<\/p>\n
