Since 3,500 BC, West Africans have cultivated rice in coastal wetlands and mountainous flood plains. Early sailors and navigators named the area around Liberia “The Grain Coast” and made mention of the distinctive red rice that is indigenous to this area. Fabrar Liberia Inc., the country’s largest commercial rice producer, is delighted to present to the world Liberia’s own organically-grown “Super Grain”, our “Country Rice”.
