Vice President Opens the Market for Agricultural Innovations and Technologies (MiTA) Celebration 2026 as Eight FSRP Countries Convene in Sierra Leone to Advance Agricultural Innovation. MiTA is a major regional event organised by CORAF in partnership with national governments to showcase and promote agricultural research, innovations, and technologies.
Over 70% of the farming population in Sierra Leone are in rural areas, mainly engaged in rain-fed subsistence farming with less than 1 hectare of land holdings. Given this scale of farming, there has been little or no surplus to support the staple food consumption needs of the country, making Sierra Leone a net importer of food.
