Agro Tech Liberia Calls for the establishment of Youth/Young farmers office at the Ministry of Agriculture

In order to achieve the zero hunger targets in Liberia, we must involve the youth as stakeholders in the agriculture sector. The young people who are in the agriculture value chain must be recognized and supported by creating an office at the Ministry of Agriculture to Cater to the challenges of youth in agriculture so as to make other youth to see the sector attractive for investment and career opportunities. 

We believe strongly that many youth in agriculture today are discouraged due to lack of support and national attention. The ministry must create this office that will assess the activities of youth in agriculture and agribusiness so there can be intervention design to empower and capacitate them for growth and productivity. This office will help increase youth participation in the agriculture sector which will in term promote a solid food security for Liberia.
