Dear Farmers, Agribusiness Partners, and Fellow Sierra Leoneans,
It is my distinct honor and privilege to welcome you to the official website of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (MAFS). This digital platform represents our commitment to transparency, accessibility, and inclusive engagement as we work collectively to transform our agricultural sector.
Under the visionary leadership of His Excellency President Dr. Julius Maada Bio, our ministry is championing the flagship Feed Salone initiative—a bold and necessary agenda to achieve food self-sufficiency and economic prosperity through agriculture. We believe that no nation can be truly sovereign until it can feed its people. Therefore, we are moving decisively away from our over-reliance on imported rice and towards a future where Sierra Leonean farmers feed Sierra Leonean families.
This website is designed to serve you better. Here, you will find information on our policies, agricultural extension services, market prices, investment opportunities, and partnership portals. Whether you are a farmer seeking advice, an investor looking for opportunities in our cashew, cocoa, or rice sectors, or a development partner wanting to collaborate, this is your gateway.
Together, we will Feed Salone.
