More than one million Liberian farmers grow the food that feeds the country, but many of them do not know the real market prices of what they produce. Without this information, farmers often sell their crops at very low prices to middlemen who later make big profits, leaving farming families struggling to survive.

Without access to real prices, farmers are forced to sell blindly and remain trapped in poverty. But a new project rolling out in Rivercess and Grand Bassa counties this year hopes to change that.

New Narratives’ King Brown reports from Grand Bassa County for Grand Bassa Radio.

This story was a collaboration with New Narratives as part of the Investigating Liberia project. Funding was provided by the Swedish Embassy in Liberia. The funder had no say in the story’s content.
