Why RFEN Exists
Southeastern Liberia is home to industrious farming communities, yet they remain trapped in cycles of poverty. Individual farmers operating in isolation face:
- •Limited access to quality tools and inputs
- •Weak market access and unfair pricing
- •Post-harvest losses due to lack of processing facilities
- •Limited financial literacy and record-keeping systems
- •Lack of training in modern agricultural techniques
RFEN solves these problems by organizing farmers into powerful groups. When farmers work collectively, they gain bargaining power, can invest in shared equipment, execute quality training programs, and build the systems needed for sustainable income generation.
