Liberia: Importers Want Increment in Price of Rice Due to Rise Cost of ImportationMONROVIA – The Rice Importers Association have appealed to the Government of Liberia to permit an increment on the price of rice due to rising cost of importation. They expressed fears that there may be shortage of rice on the market if there is no increment in the price. In February 2018, President George Weah called a meeting with rice importers in the country where they agreed to reduce the price of rice by US$2-4. Since February 2018, rice price has been US$13.00. At the end of the negotiations, officials of the Association of Liberian Rice Importers consented to effect a reduction of the price.
