At the Ministry of Information regular press briefing, Agriculture Minister Dr. J. Alexander Nuetah, unveiled the Peri-urban Agriculture Development Program. Set to kick off in Monrovia and its surroundings including Kakata, Gbarnga, and Ganta. This initiative aims to empower peri-urban dwellers by utilizing the swamplands in their backyards for agricultural purposes. The program will enable farmers to cultivate rice during the rainy season and vegetables during the dry season, contributing to food security and economic empowerment.

Under the Peri-urban Agriculture Development Program, the Ministry of Agriculture will actively recruit interested farmers and provide essential technical support. This initiative not only promises to enhance agricultural productivity but also underscores the government's commitment to fostering sustainable and inclusive growth across the nation.
