These businesses operate across the food and agriculture value chain, including cocoa, coffee, and manufacturing.

The government stated it supports these businesses through predictable policies, incentives, and public investments in infrastructure. This effort aligns with President Julius Maada Bio's 'Feed Salone' agenda to strengthen food systems and expand economic opportunities.
