Demeh, a traditional Gola village on the Monrovia-Tubmanburg highway, is in the news again. Mrs. Roger, 65, explained that farmers in the community are hardworking people who are frustrated because they don’t have effective support to enable them to find markets for their products. A cup of rice at the local market is L$30-L$35 and the community does not have a clinic. Mrs. Roger wants financial support as well as market linkages to get her product to wholesalers. ZOA sources confirmed to the Daily Observer that 250 cassava farmers are under their project in Bomi County, and that a total number of 1,500 Liberian cassava famers from six counties are befitting from the project.
