Policy Context 

The Government of Liberia in conjunction with the African Development Bank seeks to bring about SUSTAINED ECONOMIC GROWTH TO LIBERIA by leveraging on the country’s AGRICULTURE POTENTIAL. To do this, the Government seeks to create market incentives to the private sector TO MAKE AGRICULTURE A SUCCESSFUL AND PROSPEROUS BUSINESS. The LIBERIAN FARMER is the most important actor in the achievement of this goal.

Therefore, the Government has prioritized ACCESS BY FARMERS TO AGRICULTURAL INPUTS OF IMPROVED VARIETIES/BREEDS AND FERTILIZERS AS THE BACKBONE OF INCREASING FARMER PRODUCTIVTY AND EFFICIENCY. This will lead to:

1. Increase Yields by Smallholder Farmers

2. Increased Farmer Incomes through increased productivity, improved technologies and link to market
3. The ePlatform/eWallet is the technology backbone of the input distribution reforms component of the LATA;
4. It seeks to begin the process of lifting  more than 150,000 poor farmers in Year 1 out of subsistence into self-sufficiency;
5. This platform puts the  resource constrained farmer at the center of the agriculture value chain and creates a series of incentives to encourage the critical actors in the farm inputs value chain to work together to improve the productivity, food and income security of the Liberian farmer;
6. The  program gets non-market actors out of the procurement and distribution of fertilizer  and gets private sector actors  such as banks, producers, distributors , agro-dealers to  own the value chain for fertilizer so that sustainable jobs can be created in Liberia across the country;
7.  The program stimulates demand for fertilizer by putting a cash component of the product  value directly into the hands of the farmers via mobile wallets or e-wallets.
