Sierra Leone is still a dominantly agrarian economy with 57.9 per cent of households engaged in agricultural production. Agriculture continues to employ at least 70 per cent of the national labour force and contributes more than 40 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). These characteristics explain the huge potentials Sierra Leone has for rapid agricultural development and socioeconomic transformation.
