Agriculture is a critical component of Sierra Leone’s economy. It employs about two-thirds of the labour force, contributes to more than 60% of the gross domestic product and has huge potential for increased productivity and growth. Invest Salone’s work in the sector focuses on agribusinesses and larger-scale production companies with the potential to receive investment or enter export markets, particularly those working with outgrowers.
