AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Liberia Agriculture Push: The Ministry of Agriculture handed out 20 Toyota Hilux pickups and 36 Yamaha motorbikes to county and district agriculture officers, aiming to boost farmer visits, extension services, disease monitoring, and rural support under the ARREST Agenda. Field Logistics Boost: The National Archives (CNDRA) also delivered 16 Hunter motorbikes to county coordinators to strengthen rural records and service delivery. Cocoa & Deforestation Risk: New reporting warns EU rules could hit Liberia’s cocoa trade as deforestation linked to cocoa expansion accelerates in southeastern counties, with producers facing tougher proof requirements. Timber Smuggling Probe: An investigation alleges an Israeli-owned logging firm smuggled timber to Ivory Coast outside Liberia’s LiberTrace system, with no export taxes paid—raising fresh pressure on enforcement and traceability. Justice & Accountability: Liberia’s former vice president Jewel Howard-Taylor was placed in prison ahead of trial on drug trafficking and related charges tied to a major cocaine case. Governance & Jobs Narrative: Government says growth and inflation improved, but unemployment and rural development gaps remain. Regional Industry Watch: World Bank urges Ghana to sustain reforms, noting transport bottlenecks and energy-sector recovery delays are hurting jobs and fiscal stability.
