Fresh Produce Grown Locally In Sierra Leone
Rice is a major agricultural crop in Sierra Leone, and it is an important source of food for the country's population. Sierra Leone is a net importer of rice, and the majority of the rice consumed in the country is imported from other countries in West Africa. However, there are also a number of small-scale rice farmers in Sierra Leone who produce rice for local consumption. WODE is proud to be one of the farmers producing rice in the country.
The main challenges facing the rice sector in Sierra Leone are low productivity, limited access to credit and other resources, and a lack of infrastructure. There have been efforts to improve the rice sector in Sierra Leone, including the development of new rice varieties that are more resistant to pests and diseases, and the provision of extension services to help farmers improve their farming practices.
Overall, rice plays a significant role in the economy of Sierra Leone, and there is potential for the sector to contribute even more to the country's development.
"Agriculture is the foundation of civilisation. It is the source of our food, our clothing, and the materials that shape our world. It is a way of life that connects us to the earth and to our fellow human beings. It is a noble calling, worthy of respect and admiration."
