Monrovia, Liberia –The President Pro-Tempore of the Liberian Senate, Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence, has
reinforced her support for locally produced rice by placing an order for 130 bags of “I Love Liberian
Rice,” a product of the Community of Hope Agriculture Project (CHAP).
The commitment was made following a meeting with CHAP’s Chief Executive Officer, Bishop Robert S.
M. Bimba, at the Liberian Senate.

reliance on imported staple foods.

maintaining high standards is critical to building consumer confidence in locally produced goods.

agriculture in advancing food security and economic sustainability.

alternative in the national market.
