A group of ten Liberian civil society organizations has agreed to a new course of action in their advocacy for equitable distribution of wealth generated from the palm oil sector and reform of the palm oil sector. The Civil Society Oil Palm Working Group said they have recognized that the agriculture sector has a potential to contribute to food security, but could not realize such potential in the absence of progressive policies and robust regulatory frameworks to govern investments in the sector.
