Ban On Indian Rice Export Could Affect Liberia – Authority

Movement for Progressive Change (MPC) Presidential Candidate Simeon Freeman has warned the Government and people of Liberia of a serious looming rice crisis due to ban imposed on exportation of rice by India, one of the biggest exporters on the global stage.

According to Freeman, Liberia is expected to face serious rice shortage and food insecurity due to India’s refusal to export rice based on some global factors.

Speaking here on Monday, August 7, when he appeared on Prime FM, the MPC Presidential Candidate disclosed that India is the biggest importer of rice in the world and also Liberia’s biggest partner in terms of rice importation.
