The Statement of the Problem:Â Sierra Leone is the 5th hungriest country in Africa and faces food insecurity at an alarming rate.
A large percentage of the foods not sold in the local markets contribute to $ million in the post-harvest loss.
The lack of value-added food production costs the country $ million in lost revenue and a negative trade balance. At Exodus Trust, we collaborate with our strategic partners to help solve the problem of food insecurity, international trade, and export.
