In continuation of efforts to build the capacity of several agribusinesses in Liberia for the improvement of the country’s food security, the Liberia Agribusiness Development Activity (LADA), last Thursday delivered a high capacity generator (80kva) to the Kpodo Farmers Cooperative in Zayglay, Nimba County. Founded in May 31, 1981 by a group of farmers in Zayglay, Nimba County, Kpodo has grown into a diversified aggregation and processing company active in the rice, cassava, cocoa and vegetable value chains. The cooperative is comprised of men and women and is divided into 6 sub-groups, by communities and farming groups. You are also to receive a rice mill shortly that will upgrade your processing capacity.”The chairman of the Kpodo Farmers Cooperative, Peter Sarkpeder, said that members of the cooperative were thankful to the government and people of America for the donation. We also buy paddy rice by partnering with over 300 smallholder rice farmers in 40 communities in Nimba County.
