Lofa to host Liberia's third National Agriculture Fair
The December 10-12 event in Voinjama will bring farmers and agribusinesses from every county together to boost local food output.
Liberia's third National Agriculture Fair will be held in Voinjama, Lofa County, from December 10 to 12, 2026. Agriculture Minister Dr. J. Alexander Nuetah announced on November 10 that the three-day event will draw farmers and agribusinesses from all 15 counties, with the aim of producing more food at home and relying less on imports.
Nuetah said the fair, under the theme "Growing More, Importing Less for Sustainable Development," is meant to strengthen agricultural value chains and open opportunities for processors, transporters and input suppliers. He argued that local production would save foreign exchange and draw investment into the sector. The fair opens on December 10 with a World Food Day observance run with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
On December 11, FAO will host a forum on how farmers and agribusinesses obtain loans and other financial services. That day also brings the inauguration of an agricultural mechanization service center in Voinjama, as the government has received 304 pieces of farm machinery and set up such centers in six counties, four of them in Lofa. The fair closes on December 12 with an exhibition of products from all 15 counties and a food festival.
Why it mattersFarmers and agribusinesses from all 15 counties are invited to exhibit products and take part in investment discussions and financial services forums.
