On April 27, 2025, J. Alexander Nuetah, Minister of Agriculture of Liberia, and his delegation visited Mainland Group’s headquarters. The two sides exchanged in-depth views on agricultural cooperation. Zhu Chen, Chairman of Mainland Group, the Group's senior management team, and Deng Xiaoxia, Deputy General Manager of Yueyang Guansheng Investment & Development Company, attended the symposium.

During the symposium, Mainland Group showcased its development history, business layout and development achievements to Minister Nuetah. Chairman Zhu Chen gave a detailed introduction to the Group’s overall operations, and focused on sharing the Group’s plans for agricultural product cultivation and processing projects in Liberia. He put forward systematic cooperation ideas covering industrial layout, technology transfer and supply chain development.

Minister Nuetah briefed the attendees on Liberia’s agricultural status. The country boasts vast land resources, yet only 3% of arable land has been brought under cultivation, meaning that the country has enormous potential for agricultural development. Rice is the staple food for Liberians. As the “home of rice,” China boasts outstanding expertise in rice cultivation and agricultural technologies. The Minister expressed his expectation that Mainland Group would invest and develop business in Liberia. With advanced agricultural technologies and extensive experience, the Group could help the country boost grain output and address food security issues.

This symposium has opened a new chapter of agricultural cooperation between Mainland Group and Liberia. Drawing on its mature industry experience, the Group will help improve local grain self-sufficiency and boost the local economy. Meanwhile, it will broaden its overseas development channels to achieve mutual benefit and win-win outcomes.
