Despite welcoming the prospective capital injection, the chief executive of SAPPIMAH Cassava Refining Company has called for increased governmental focus on domestic producers. This appeal underscores the importance of nurturing local businesses within the burgeoning industry.
The entrepreneur's perspective highlights a critical balance: leveraging large-scale investments while simultaneously empowering indigenous companies. This approach aims to ensure that growth in the cassava sector benefits the Liberian economy broadly.
