AgroPages-ProGro BIO announces successful outcomes in sustainable farming projects in Liberia-Agricultural news

ProGro BIO announced that it is providing its 100% natural and organic microbial soil inoculant, Rhizol, and application knowledge to Sustainable Liberia, a US non-profit 501(c)3 organization with a mission to counter hopelessness by creating sustainable communities in Liberia. Sustainable Libera's platform spans several dimensions including infrastructure restoration, economic empowerment, leadership development, evangelism & discipleship, and education & job training.

ProGro BIO provided Rhizol for application in two locales: Frank Town and Careysburg, both in Liberia, West Africa. Rhizol was targeted for use on tomatoes, peppers, basil, collards, corn and several other local vegetables and herbs. These large grows in these communities are used for economic empowerment to the citizens of these communities.

Sustainable Liberia was founded by Dr. Jessy Togba-Doya, a native of Balama, Liberia who at a young age, was taken from his family into a life of servitude. Dr. Togba-Doya said, "We are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to work with ProGro BIO. In the absence of commercial fertilizer due to exorbitant cost, Rhizol has been a miracle for our community gardens. Comparisons between our Rhizol-treated and untreated garden plots were astounding including higher levels of retained moisture, lower levels of weed growth and more vibrant and lush yielding plants".

Blake Young, ProGro BIO Chief Executive Officer, commented "We were honored to consider and work with Sustainable Liberia on this project. Not only did the ProGro mission for advancing sustainable and regenerative agriculture fit perfectly with this opportunity, but our company's mission to empower and support less fortunate communities with capabilities and knowledge aligned perfectly with Sustainable Liberia and the results achieved are another example of the efficacy of our powerful microbial soil inoculant, Rhizol.
