Research that reaches the farm.

AFRI builds climate-resilient seed, precision farming systems and food-safety capability for Liberia and West Africa.

We control the chain from the laboratory to the farm to the market.

Research and biotechnology: Molecular biology and tissue-culture laboratories, a germplasm bank, and improved varieties bred for Liberian conditions.
Integrated production: Crop, livestock and aquaculture systems on the same land, supported by controlled-environment agriculture.
Processing and trade: Value addition, food-safety certification and traceability that hold up in export markets.

What we work on

Four areas where Liberian agriculture is losing yield.

Each one is an active programme with its own laboratory capability, field trials and commercial output.

On the ground

Land, inputs and agronomy support for smallholder groups working alongside our own production.

Staple production aimed at closing the local supply gap before export volumes are considered.

Demonstration farms where farmers learn the method on the crop, not in a classroom.

Graded, traceable produce moved from our farms into retail and institutional buyers.

We work with government, development partners, investors and agri-food companies on contract research, licensing, certification and supply.
