There is a saying in Liberia that when elephants fight, the grass suffers. It appears that the grass is suffering seriously in the southeastern region as elephants in the Executive and the Legislative Branches are in a major row over the awarding of a concession agreement for the operation of this once lucrative agricultural entity in Maryland known as Decoris Palm Plantation. The entity is planted in oil palm, but it has remained dormant for years as a consequence of the 14-year conflict.

Recently, however, the government, through the Inter-Ministerial Concession Committee (IMCC), initiated the process leading to rehabilitation of the farm through a private entity. Five international firms responded and two, BSP and SIFCA, submitted proposals to government. After final evaluation of the bids, IMCC approved SIFCA as the most responsive bidder, according to the Agriculture Minister, Florence Chenoweth, and gave them the nod, even though SIFCA reportedly did not have on hand the full amount required to start operations.

According to the biddings, SIFCA’s total investment is over $48 million for the nucleus plantation and the out growers is $16 million; making a total of $64 million.
