JR Farms secures 20-year coffee sector concession in Liberia

JR Farms Group Inc. entered into a 20-year public-private partnership (PPP) concession agreement with the Government of Liberia, through its Ministry of Agriculture, for the large-scale revitalisation of the country’s coffee sector.

The transaction, which forms part of Liberia’s broader agricultural transformation agenda, is expected to generate investment exceeding US$60 million and establishes a long-term framework for the development of more than 250,000 hectares of coffee plantations alongside the planting of approximately 200 million coffee trees across the country.

A significant agricultural public-private partnership initiative undertaken in West Africa in recent years, the concession is designed to reposition Liberia within the global coffee value chain through an integrated development model combining plantation expansion, farmer participation, processing infrastructure, and export market access.
