Monrovia – Agriculture Minister, Jeanine M. Cooper, has, with immediate effect, cancelled a bidding process for heavy-duty tractors and other agricultural equipment in order to rationalize spending of donor funds. We can’t afford to spend money buying equipment that we will not be used”, Minister Cooper asserted. Minister Cooper exercises overall supervision of all government and donor funded projects within the agriculture sector. “Our farmers need equipment and tools suited for Liberia; for our farms and crops. Farmers need help with post-harvest machinery, and to be able to use modern drying techniques that will reduce their losses after harvesting”.
