Monrovia, November 4, 2025 β€” The Minister of Agriculture, Dr. J. Alexander Nuetah, has officially launched the National Agriculture Fair (NAF) 2025, reaffirming the government’s unwavering commitment to empowering farmers, boosting local production, and achieving national food self-sufficiency.

The fair is set to take place in Ganta, Nimba County, from December 9–13, 2025, under the inspiring theme β€œEmpowering Farmers, Enriching the Nation.” The event will unite farmers, agripreneurs, youth, researchers, and development partners through exhibitions, policy dialogues, and capacity-building sessions to strengthen innovation and productivity across Liberia’s agricultural value chain.

The five-day event will open with an Extension Conference, where agricultural officers from all counties will review achievements, address challenges, and set priorities for the year ahead. Participants will also tour Liberia’s first-ever National Cocoa Seed Garden in Beeplay, Nimba County,  a landmark site housing over 19,000 elite hybrid cocoa seedlings that symbolize Liberia’s growing investment in crop diversification and sustainable agriculture.

The fair will be attended by His Excellency Joseph Nyuma Boakai, President of the Republic of Liberia; the Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO),  QU Dongyu; the President of Tuskegee University, the first historically Black university in the United States; and several international and national development partners.

Dr. Nuetah emphasized that the fair will showcase Liberia’s vast agricultural potential, highlighting local innovation, value addition, and agribusiness development. β€œWhen we empower farmers with the right tools and support, we empower the entire nation,” he stated.

A highlight of the fair will be the National Farmers’ Awards, recognizing outstanding individuals and cooperatives for their achievements in productivity, innovation, and sustainability.

Reviving this historic national tradition marks a significant milestone in the modernization of Liberia’s agriculture sector, celebrating the resilience, creativity, and hard work of the nation’s farmers who continue to drive Liberia’s progress toward food security and shared prosperity.
