Facilitating Plantain and Potatoes Value-Chain Project (F2PVC).
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Liberia agro-processing sector holds promise for consolidating the development of a vibrant and inclusive private sector however growth of the sector is with marred by several constraints. The major constraints identified include the lack of adequate equipment and infrastructure to facilitate agriculture and post-harvest production, challenges in sourcing of raw materials and lack of access to finance. Through the Facilitating Plantain and Potatoes Value-Chain Project, Wungko’s Farm seeks to address the above-mentioned constraints that are critical to the viability of Wungko’s Farm growth model.
Wungko’s Farm is an integrated livestock and vegetable company located in Bong County, Liberia, with a production facility in Monrovia, Liberia. Wungko’s Farm produces and distributes plantain chips and various crisps from other agricultural produce. The company is currently working on establishing a robust distribution network for its products throughout the country and eventually on international markets.
Through the Facilitating Plantain and Potatoes Value Chain Project, Wungko’s Farm seeks to improve and expand the production of vegetables, especially plantain and potatoes inter-crop with other vegetables through Wungko’s Farm production and out-growers. The project aims to improve agro-processing capacity and increase income and employment for smallholder farmers and agro-inputs suppliers, especially youth and women.
The expected impact is to create jobs for 50 smallholder farmers, especially women and youth, and create 145 jobs for agro-inputs suppliers. The project will increase the current production to a full production capacity of 60 kilograms per hour, increase income and jobs for smallholder farmers and agro-inputs suppliers and facilitate export readiness.
PROGRAM GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Through the Facilitating Plantain and Potatoes Value-Chain Project (F2PVC), aim to scale up production of plantain and potatoes and improve Wungko Farm’s agro-processing capacity through opening a mini-processing facility in central Liberia to address post-harvest losses smallholder face. The project objectives are:
